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 450 Vibration when idling or at red light by stash1 Sep 04, 2007 (6:49 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 450 1987 Cougar stalls in idle, shifts late by tayrae Oct 06, 2007 (2:28 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 2:28 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?

Replying to: mybonnie (Mar 18, 2003 6:17 pm) i have a 92 buick regal with a 3.8 that had the same problems and i replaced all the parts that were said to be the problem including the computer and all the sensors ,except for one. And that was my crank shaft sensor, and wala ,that was my problem. A code did not come up, cause it had shorted out and it read normal. That's the reason i spend so much money on everything else. About a thousand dollars worth of parts i didnt need, because it only cost me under thirty dollers to replace. hope this helped.
#398 of 450 93 Infiniti J30 STALLING by bcornstars03 Dec 02, 2007 (10:45 am)
I have a 93 Infiniti J30 with 180,000 miles. Always ran great, Ive kept it up nicely. Now this week it has died on me about 6 times. I am noticing patterns now that go like this...   I will be driving and car runs great as usual, then my interior dash lights/radio lights/clock light all dim down anytime I hit my breaks. Sometimes my gas pedal becomes very unresponsive and car will stutter when I hit gas pedal. Then it will either pull out of its "funk" or will just shut off. My check engine lights, ABS light, Seat belt light, Air bag lights all come on in dash. Then the car takes anywhere from 1-6 times of turning over until it will start. My starter is good and has never been an issue.   Does ANYONE have anything useful I should know???   Thank you!! Replies to this message: 0patience (Dec 06, 2007 11:29 pm)
