  • why wont mycar stop stalling?

    ive have my 'maro for almost two years now and for the most part it has been mechanically sound. about 6 months ago, the engine began to randomly misfire while i was on the freeway. it would gradually get worse until the car was always misfiring especially in 4th and 5th gear.

    so i changed the plugs, wires, coils, and the crank maf sensors. i also installed a brand new k&n filter. now she runs a lot better and i have not had the car misfire (yet).

    my proplem now is the car constantly stalls when hot. for example, i cant run errands all day because if i do, the constant turning the car on and off and driving it from place to place causes it to stall when im driving it. after it stalls it will crank but wont turn over until the 6th or 7th try.

    any help would appreciated.

    Any cel codes?
    The way I try to diagnos things is Air, Fuel, Electric. It's not getting one of the three.

    Old fuel filter?
    Fuel pump?

    When is it stalling? When you let out the clutch?
    It's really hard for us to diagnois it, without alot of info?

    Could always take it to a garage, some place will figure it out for you and give you an estimate to fix it.

      change fuel filter [if you haven't already done that].
      After that, I would get a decent mechanic to test the fuel pressure with a gauge. That shouldn't cost much, and it would eliminate a likely suspect [dying fuel pump].
