can you or someone you know check your fuel pressure?

just some personal exp - when my car did this same thing the ground wire coming off of the fuel pump had partially corroded and finally broke off all together. it took a long time to figure out.

my car is a little different than yours cuz its a 99 and an mtx. but fuel pressure is still something to check off the list of possibilities

So the car shuts off in the idle position correct? Probably not getting enough fuel.

never thought about fuel cause i can drive it all day in the city and never have a problem but tune up was about five yrs ago but i only put three to four thousand miles a yr on it but i get off the highway and when it dies the only thing to get it back running right is put it in nuetral and crank it to four thousand rpms for a sec and some time it takes a few times for that i will check the fuel any one got more ideas

tps should throw a cel. i just dealt with a bad one of those too. my car idled just fine, but if you pulled out right away and didnt let it "warm up" a little it would miss, sputter, and carry on while you accelerated.

really sounds like you arent getting enough fuel at idle to me. my car acted exactly the same. i tore it down to reset the timing in -5 degree weather and everything before i decided maybe it was my pump.

i got underneath the car, saw that damn ground wire. replaced it and the car fired up after three seconds of cranking to build fuel pressure.
