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.

What would cause 1989 Ford Contour V6 to surge 300 to 500 RPM while idling?
Generally a surge at low RPMS is caused by a defective vaccum componet or a cracked vaccum line. It still leaks at higher speed but you don't notice it because the engine is GENERATING more volume of vaccum to cover it up. Try this: Take some WD40 and lightly spray it around vaccum lines while the motor is running; as soon as the engine smoothes out you have found the troubled part. The wd40 will TEMPORARILY seal the leak.
Would a bad alternator cause your car to stall?
It is possible for the alternator high frequency to interfere with an unshielded crank sensor wire or cam sensor wire. This is what happened to my 2002 windstar. The fix is either replace the alternator with a ford unit and/or wrapping the crank sensor wire with tin foil and then grounding it

What does it mean when the lights dim when revving the car?
I would check for a loose alternator belt.
Possibly but I would check all the engine, body and manifold earths first then the coil. Plugs and wires tend to make the engine misfire rather than stall, although it's not impossible that multi-failure through age would cause stalling

Why does your car shake and cut off while driving in the morning?
only in the morning? cold morning, warm morning? how many miles do you get in you travels before this happens?
It will start up fine everytime. It runs completely fine when its all cooled down. It only starts having these problems when it gets heated up and the turned off for about 10 or 15 minutes. Then I start it again and it starts doing this. I can drive it fine to anywhere when its cooled and I start it up, but once I drive it somewhere once and then leave it alone for 10,15 mins, then start it up again it sounds like its not getting the correct amount of fuel. When I press on the gas it revs a little bit, but then stalls or begins to stall. Check egr, not that, checked MAP sensor, not that. I don't know what else it could be. It started doing this when I drove it a lot on a really hot day, much more than I usually drive it. Engine temperature got a little over 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft sensor the same animal?
Definetly not the same animal, some vehicles have one or the other, some have both. Your local parts store can look up and usually show you the different sensors your vehicle may require.

Why won't your 1983 S-10 28 stay running unless you pump the gas?
I had the same problem with my civic, my distributor had gone bad. It wasnt lubricating properly, and eventually it died and I got a new one. There may be a break in one of the vacuum lines or rubber tubes that come off the rochester 2se carburetor or one of the many other vacuum lines. I know-I had my truck shut off and not crank up again due to a dry rotted rubber vacuum line which sometimes are hard to see or find. Have you tried replacing your air filter and breather filter. I was having a problem with my '84 S10. It would not stay running unless you kept your foot on the accelerator, especially in the mornings after it had set for a while. I simply changed these two filters and changed the air temp. sensor, (located inside the breather) and now all is well. It only cost me around $30.00.
Truck stalls when being shifted into gear?
the truck may have a short somewhere. It may need a new battery, it may need fuses, or it might just need to be grounded better.

The crankshaft sensor is located on the passenger side of the engine, close to the coil pack. It is easier to reach it from under a raised vehicle.
The engine most likely is idling too low or not smoothly. Check for any vacuum leaks, and see that the EGR valve is not stopped up.
