Still having the problem? This happened to my brothers 91 Skylark...He would come off of the highway and when pulling up to a stop sign or signal light, it would stall...Putting it in park it would start right up again...Then into drive and it would stall unless he gave it lots of gas then sometimes it would go without stalling...Turned out to be a solenoid in the transmission (I believe it was called the torque converter lock solenoid or something like that)...$200 at the local Chev dealer fixed it... The service manager knew exactly what it was when we called and described the symptoms... You may want to change the transmission oil and filter first. It worked fine in my case.
If you have the 99 -02 Cougar replace the TPS (throttle positioning sensor) on the throttle body.
Symptom of bad fuel filter= stalling when slowing down to stop at lights or stop signs.
I just put a new battery and alternator in my car, but when i put it in gear or start slowing down to stop..the car die out. Also the brake light is continely on.
The steering wheel shimmering could be warped front rotors, when slowing down. The stalling when slowing down could be a bad fuel filter.
rapidly changing gears in anything will hurt the vechicle but not slowing down will not
If it is a stick shift or manual, you may be stalling it. a way to stop this could be to place the clutch all the way to the floor.
I would check for any fault codes first with an obd tool, is the check engine light on?
no, but the owners of the horses can sue you. Not slowing down for animals like horses is considered a traffic violation. you can look it up in the DMV handbook
Check the fuel filter, it might be clogged.
slowing down.
Transmission may not be downshifting properly or one of the belt driven acessories could be putting to much load on engine. See if it happens with A/C, defroster and vents off, if not it could be your A/C compressor stalling the engine
Yes.If the car is backing up, but slowing down, then its velocity is in the negative direction, and its acceleration is in the positive direction.
