Starts, almost stalls out, then catches

I do run Mobil One full synthetic in the car. I ran some cleaner through it on the last fill up. That did not seem to make a difference in the stalling. Maybe I should keep doing it every fill up?

Dude, sea foam your car. I just did that and I swear it nearly did the trick. Just clean out every thing. Intakes, throttles, fuel injectors, MAF sensors and oil and I'd suggest looking into possibly updating your pulley system. Possibly.

Updating the pulley system won't do a thing for the stalling problem.

Since this car has no inline fuel filter, it is imperative that things are kept clean. I use the small bottle of Lucas Fuel injector cleaner with every tank and I put a can of seafoam in the gas once a month. Some will call this 'overkill', but I've done it on all cars that have no inline fuel filter and it works. No hesitation, good fuel economy through 150k miles (not that fuel economy is an issue for most Z owners). My last car was a 2004 Malibu with a V6, and when I traded it in with 150k on the clock, it still got 36 mpg on the highway....

FWIW...

Again, I am making the suggestion because my buddy, whom you must know well, birdman71, suggested this since his car had a similar issue and got fixed by swapping pulleys.
