My wife drives a 1994 Mercury Villager with the same problem stalling while driving,hard to start,and fuel odor The first and easiest thing to do is pull the vacum hose off of the fuel pressure regulator this is the top one usally red from factory runs from top of the reg to the intake manifold if their is fuel in the hose you know that's it. Note No one carries this part in stock, and pretty difficult to get the back screw out. also the bottom return line is difficult to work with. Ford 169.95 Autozone 99.00 Napa 85.00 Advance Auto 65.00 RockAuto.com 55.00 ALL THE ABOVE HAD TO ORDER IT WHERE I LIVE. I did do myself it took about 3 hours,after I got the part that is,plan on replacing the vacum hose and return hose as well. Anyway fixed the problem: Wife is happy,kid's are safe,and I am broke.
You will need to completely or at least mostly remove the inner plastic wheel well. Once that is out of the way, unplug the connector from the lamp. Remove the lamp by giving it a quarter turn.
If the vehicle is old enough to require cleaning the egr valve, you will be better served replacing it with a new one, giving your vehicle another 8 - 10 years free of egr problem. It involves quite an amount of labor to remove the egr valve, and 1 or 2 years later you are again faced with same problem. Better replace it at once, otherwise, look elsewhere for how to clean it. I just replaced egr system (egr valve, egr solenoid, and egr vsv) on my 2001 Toyota Camry and am getting ready to do the same for my Mercury villager 1998.I have read other posts that state that check engine light goes off after replacing the egr valve.

it probably means that he is stalling on giving saying the answer the exact way he wants or its a hard question and he wasn't expecting it.
a reason could be that the baffles from the fuel tank are worned out and when you go around a curve the fuel moves away from the fuel pump giving you giving you that sense of stalling on curves.
Knock sensor codes on this vehicle are meaningless, the knock sensor does nothing unless the engine knocks. If you have this code there is more than likely a problem in one of the other emission-related devices, which often triggers this code first. My advice is to ignore it until another code pops up giving you more information about where to look. Do not replace the knock sensor, it will be expensive and will not stop the code from reappearing.
giving her what she wants.
Her problem was not giving up!

The engine may not be very good or too small and you may be giving it too much gas, thus flooding the engine. I'm not sure but this could be the problem.
Most likely there is another issue which may not show up on a PCM code scan. The O2 sensor is reading a lean mixture so, the PCM is giving the engine more fuel. Check for vacuum leaks. The PCM will also richen the mixture to compensate for other problems.
The kink stops the mercury from falling, giving the user/reader of the thermometer time to read the highest temperature recorded. Shaking the thermometer lets the mercury fall again.
Giving an example of the problem.
