Best Answer

A car engine stalling is not only related to air filter problems. If you air filter was plugged enough to make the car stall then changing the filter would have cured the stalling problem. It sounds like you have a fuel delivery problem seeing as the car will not go over 10mph. Could be a simple as changing the fuel filter. If that doesn't help, your fuel pump could be failing. This is for a non fuel injected vehicle. If your vehicle is fuel injected then the car needs to be taken to a mechanic who can properly diagnose the problem. Hope this helps.

Check all vacuum hoses first. If they are all attached & in good condition: Check that the air filter is not severely clogged/ dirty. Replacing the gas filter (s) may also stop this from happening. My bet is on the gas filter (s) or the vacuum hoses.
