Car Stalling Problems
When your car’s engine stops when it’s in idle or is accelerating, then your car has stalled. Almost all stalling problems stem from poor fuel-gas mixture, out-of-tune fuel injection or fuel contaminants.

Why does a 1977 Ford F100 stall on acceleration and uphill driving?
I would check the point gap and timing first. If that does not correct it, I would check the carburetor float level.

1. Your car may have had previous frame and/or unibody damage. 2. Did you have a 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignment done? If it was only a 2-wheel alignment, the rear axle(s) may not have been properly aligned with the front ones, so that your vehicle may "dog-track" with rear end swaying to one side or the other after you hit bumps or uneven road. 3. Your front or rear shock absorbers may be worn out. 4. Make sure that the new tires are the correct size as recommended by the manufacturer of your car.
Separate ignition coils for each cylinder. Commonly known as direct ignition.
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.
Look for a vacuum leak.
Neutral safety switch for 2001 Isuzu rodeo?
Depending on the transmission type, the neutral safety could be located in several places on the transmission. If the switch is bad, the Rodeo could either start in any gear, or not start at all.
What could cause a V6 98 Chevy Camaro to stall or jerk when you accelerate?
check your spark plugs and wires. if they are all firing correctly and are in good condition, check your injectors and fuel pump/filter. if it's only during acceleration, it's either a fuel delivery problem or ignition problem. I had the same thing like a month ago. Did a complete tune up and it now runs perfectly.You'll notice a difference as soon as you change the plugs.
What do you mean " starts in grabbing"?

What could cause my 2005 Dodge Durango to stall at stops?
There could be multiple reasons for this problem. I would start with the simple one first changing the air filter and using a good fuel injector cleaner (I recommend Lucas) This will also improve your miles per gallon (MPG). The next step would be running a computer scan to verify that your car is properly tunned. A low transmission fluid could also be a factor as it gives your computer incorrect reading. Changing the transmission fluid & filter helped in my case.

Your 96 pathfinder just stalls driving down the road?
The Crank Angle Sensor on these cars is notorious for going bad They will start to drop the output signal intermittently when they get hot The computer will try to substitute a value for the missed signal and keep the car running Eventually the sensor will reach a temperature that causes it to fail producing any signal And the ignition system will fail causing loss of spark making the car die After the car dies the sensor starts to cool and in most cases the car will start back up Immediately. The distributors also go bad after time in these cars (about 100K) and are not serviceable If the symptom cannot be reproduced try replacing the crank sensor first as it is the cheapest part Always check basic tune up parts first and make sure they are in good condition
While driving what would make the engine cut off and and not restart?
Fuel... either you ran out or the pump stoped working, it could also me that the alternater failed and the battery died.

Why does your 99 grandprix jump forward while in drive but at a dead stop?
It is probably the Mass air flow sensor. Try cleaning it with non chlorinated brake cleaner. If problem persist replace it, it's about $130. Be sure to check your vacuum lines too.
