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.

Where is the egr valve on a 1993 Chevy K1500?

How can you tell if the fuel pump or transmission is going out on an automatic car?
Bad fuel pump will cause the engine to stall or not start at all. A bad automatic transmission will cause the vehicle to jerk and not run smoothly.
check the brake booster vacumme hose,its the hose than runs from the intake to the brake booster. if its leaking air the car stall when you hit the brakes or has no power
I have this same Jeep. When I first got it it ran like crap. It used like a half a tank to go like 20 miles. I changed the Oxygen sensor, plugs, wires, and rotor\cap. It took care of this problem. I also ran a couple tanks of injector cleaner through it and this also helped. This helped in my case. If the o2 sensor is bad it will cause bad fuel mileage and possibly idle problems. Bc the computer adjusts the fuel air mixture by what the o2 sensor reads.
You have a coil not cap and rotor. The idle control valve is inside or on the side of the throttle body. Clean it out, lube linkage, seafoam it, O2 sensors are expensive and the code is set off by other issues such as carbon build up, idle control valve not clean, the computer thinking the air is rich and dumping more fuel.

The first indication of a failed oxygen (O2) sensor are warning lights to check or service the engine. A check engine light or saved problem code such as O2 problem can cause the vehicle to fail inspections. O2 sensors are an emissions component. The vehicle may also lose performance, fuel economy, and may damage other components.

What does it mean when your car cuts out going up hill?
Generally speaking when a car stalls out going uphill, a few things come to a mechanical mind.
1. Going uphill produces a strain on the engine and drive components, if you have the old points and coil type vehicle one could suspect a faulty ignition coil as the culprit.
2. A vehicle on an incline may be low on fuel and thus stalls on a hill because it is starving for fuel on this incline.
3. A faulty float inside the float bowl of your carburetor may be the problem.
have mechanic search for a GOVERNOR control switch. this device is an installed component that shuts down the engine at a specified cut-off limit, thus governing your speed check your catalytic converter. i had this problem and found out that every time i would step on it, a broken piece of it would blow up blocking the exhaust flow and when letting off the gas, would fall back down
Why does the oil light come on when your car stalls?
The light comes on when the car stalls because the engine is not running and the pump therefore is not pumping. The pressure will always be 0 when the engine stalls and the light is directly related to pressure. This is normal, you have no problem, other than the engine stalling.

IT LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO BUT ITS A PIECE OF CAKE
What might the cause be of an uneven idle with a slight surge at stops be on a 1985 Ford e150?
A vacuum leak at the EGR valve or at the base of the carb, also check your PCV. Try this; Take a can of wd 40 and slowly spray it around the areas that are suspected . If the idle improves for a moment this is probably where the problem is. Check around the carb base as some Fords of this vintage had their share of problems with leaks.
Why won't a 1993 Chrysler Concorde stay running after starting?
It's possible your silent alarm has been triggered, causing the vehicle to run for a few seconds then die off...try locking then unlocking the doors, if all else fails disconnect the ground on the battery for 15-30 min, that may allow the computer to reset itself.
