It should idle fine without the stabilizer module (you don't have an idle air control valve) but be easier to stall. People have gone long periods without one.

All the stabilizer does is advance the timing when rpm falls below the set point. You'll not solve the problem until you can get it to idle without the stabilizer -- maybe you didn't get the two plugs fully connected to each other?

Beyond that I'm stumped.
