Friend's car is stalling

barristo · 11-18-2005, 12:30 AM

Just wondering if I could get any suggestions or comments (hopefully helpful) about my friend's '91 tempest(auto). He says the car is stalling when he goes from reverse to drive and sometimes just when he is on idle. New plugs/wires/air filter... Any idea what's wrong or what can be done to fix this? I was thinking it's something to do with the fuel lines or something...

Sorry to post this it's not a satty... However it will be getting me to school while mine is in the garage.

Just took some pics with a better cam today. Gonna get tem e-mailed and posted asap.

I doubt that's enough to diagnose off of... could be fuel, air, spark, just about anything could contribute...

91 tempest, how many miles? Could be a distributor or way to much gunk in the engine that needs to be cleaned out. I would dump a bottle of restore in the car and let it go.

The car actually has less miles than mine. I think it has a little over 100,000 Km on it.
