∙ 13y agoNeed to run a fuel pressure test, and check the fuel filter.
Probably an alternator.
My '95 did the same thing. It was the Throttle position sensor.
Yeah my 1991 Ford Tempo does the same thing it starts and idles no problem but if i stop at a gas station and leave it running and come back out to the car i put it in reverse or drive it dies every once in a while
you should check the fuel ingestion
Probably a bad idle air control valve.
i have a 97 Catera and it stalls in either drive or reverse. idles fine for 30 minutes but shuts off almost instantly. replaced CPS and tightened all grounds. No change. but sometimes it will drive beautifully... an answer would be great. next step for me is to fix the valve cover leaks and check all connections and hoses. any help?
The catalytic converter may be clogged. Remove it from the exaust system and take the car for a quick (but noisy) test drive.
it could be the idle speed sensor located on throttle body however i replaced mine and it still idles high. The code indicates lean air/gas mixture so i am still looking for small vacumm leak
hm....try checking your ignition timing (or getting a mechanic to do it) with a timing gun. Also try checking the EGR Valve
replace the alternator
Dirty injectors.
