#387 of 446 1989 Lincoln Mark VII stalls while making left turns only!] by ggadette Jul 17, 2007 (2:32 pm)
Replying to: elvia (Jul 10, 2007 6:06 am) Lincoln Mark VII 1989, great condition, New battery. Cant seem to figure out why it stalls, only while making left turns, and its about 80% of the time so not all of the time, and never stalls any other time. And starts right back up after stalling. Please help.

Replying to: twosnook (May 23, 2007 1:04 pm) i have a 1990 chevy beretta 3.1 v6 that lacks power when i give it gas i have changed the cat. converter and the fuel filter and it is still doing it. it almost sounds like something is blocking up after i press the pedal down so far. if the gas pedal is barely touched it runs fine Replies to this message: 0patience (Aug 18, 2007 8:16 pm)

Replying to: chevyman20 (Aug 18, 2007 5:26 pm) Check fuel pressure. You may find that either the fuel pressure regulator has gone bad or the pump is going.   Another thought is that the throttle position sensor is faulty. Unplug the throttle position sensor and see if the problem gets better. If it does, replace the sensor.   Are there any fault codes? Check engine light on?
#394 of 446 Vibration when idling or at red light by stash1 Sep 04, 2007 (5:49 am)
My 2002 Chevy suburban vibrates when idle or at at red light. It has 52k miles on it and otherwise runs great. I have put plugs/wires on it, but it still has the tremor. It is slight, but annoying. I have also run Seafoam gas treatment, due to the fact that it started shortly after a fillup with 87 octane gas. I originally put 93 into the tank, but switched when it was not available here, or very expensive to get her after Katrina. I was wondering if I need to go back to a higher octane, or if the vibration is something else? It has been put on a scanner which showed no problems, not does the check engine light come on.
#395 of 446 1987 Cougar stalls in idle, shifts late by tayrae Oct 06, 2007 (1:28 pm)
Hi- My car has been stalling out in idle and while slowly driving for a little while now...I moved 1000 miles away in it anyways, though. On a donut, no less, thanks to some crazy circumstances. Now, it shifts very late and Very hard, in addition to stalling out a lot. So, I guess what I would like to know is, is there any point in even spending the money to fix it, or would it make more sense to just get another car?

Replying to: tayrae (Oct 06, 2007 1:28 pm) Well if you drove 1000 miles on a doughnut without getting the tire fixed, then I'm assuming you don't have much money for your car....so would suggest fixing instead of buying another vehicle.   Who knows until you have the Cougar looked at....You may spend more in tax and tag transfer than it costs to fix whatever is wrong. What makes you think whatever you buy is any better than what you have?
