How much vacuum is the car pulling at an idle?

It sounds like your wideband may not be properly reading.
The car shouldn't die at 14.7:1 if its pulling 18-21 inches of vacuum.

Should usually be between 21.3 inHg - 26.5 inHg of vacuum. (10.5psi - 13psi or 114 mbar - 288 mbar)

Check the timing belt/mechanical timing.
Compression & Leak down test the engine.

Something sounds off.

If the timing is right & the compression is good tow the car to the tuner and have him figure it out.

What wide band O2 are you using and where is it located in the exhaust?

How do you have your Closed loop, Fuel Compensation and Fuel Trim setup? How does your Voltage/Lambda Conversion table look.
