I had a 93 Geo Metro that started off doing that then got worse. Needed a new cadalidic converter and muffler...all exhaust issues. I let it go for too long and made the situation very expensive.
Engine temperature sensor? Vacuum leak?
If your 1997 Explorer wants to stall when you turn on the heater, it could be due to a few reasons. One common issue is a vacuum leak; the increased load on the engine when the heater activates can reveal a problem in the vacuum system. Another possibility is an issue with the idle air control valve, which may not be adjusting the idle speed properly under load. Lastly, a weak battery or alternator could also struggle to provide enough power when the heater is activated, affecting engine performance.
torque converter is hangin up..
1989 Nissan Sentra Wagon 5 Speed intermittently wants to die out. Unless I give it gas it will stall. It will start back up again, with the same problem until problem stops. No pattern to diagnose.
WXYZ is a trapezoid......
if an auto trans-in gear 550 <-it should speed up when you put it in park that should be 650---start with 550 in park--put into gear-if it wants stall turn it up 2942E6B7-0D26-E667-F7DC-E162A40E3ADF 1.03.01
Check for a vacuum leak
It could, if it is plugged and the code has to do with fuel sytem lean. Suggest you have code checked, and check fuel pressure.
check your fuel pump.
If the rpm's are erratic it could be the throttle position sensor. It is a cheap and easy repair.
My 1995 Nissan Quest is acting really strange. It is acting like its either misfiring or not getting enough gas and wants to cut out on me and it jerks sometimes hard. What could it be. I put new plugs and wires in, and just replaced the distributor cap and rotor for the distributor cap.
It is most likely a problem with your electrical system or with your fuel system. You may want to try putting in more gas in your car to see if you just have bad gas.
