camaro stalls out after 25min idling
This is a 2002 3.8 v6 camaro. One night I was driving home and every time I turned left it would sputter and die. Once it went into reduced engine power and I barely got it home. It threw these codes. P0135, P1133, P1153, P1514, P1516. I cleared them and later went to check my coils and found that the coil I thought was the culprit was. One of the plugs wasn't connected and wouldn't stay clicked down. So I checked that coil and it had a lower reading than the other 2. So kinda made sense turning left was most likely making the plug move causing the car to sputter and stall. So I replaced the coil and got a new spark plug cable. Before I couldn't get it to start. Now it started and drove it halfway around the block and it starts sputtering. So now wat it does is it will start fine it will idle and rev up perfect but after 25 min it stalls out. If I try to restart it wont it will kick and sputter but wont start. But always the next day it will start up fine and do everything perfect sitting for 25 min and then stalls out. Its repeated this numerous times. I cleaned the maf with Crc maf cleaner and cleaned throttle body as best I could. Still does the same thing. Any ideas. I'm counting out the maf. Leaning towards throttle actuator control (TAC). Is there any way to test this thing.

Seems you're on the right track with the coils.
I suspect the coil(s) getting overheated, the ign control module - the 'tray' the coils plug into, or an electrical connection having corrosion on it.
As a corroded connection heats up, due to current passing through it, the connection heats up, resistance goes up, and power through the connection drops, hence, the loss of power.
One faulty coil can bring the others with it. I would suspect the center coil as it has limited cooling being as there is a coil on either side of it. About the only way to troubleshoot is replace the coil(s) or the tray when the failure occurs.
Spark plugs in good shape?
Plug wires in good shape?
