98 neon stalling.

My car is acting up again, I posted last week about my car not starting and with the suggestions I received from you guys I changed my plugs and wires, and that got my car running perfectly again... but this morning while letting the car idle I was scraping the ice off of the windshield and it stalled, this happened twice. Started right up after this and I drove to work. At lunch it didn't want to run, it would start and stall. when it started up it would rev up to like 2000 rpm and would slow down, and as soon as it would hit the 1000rpm range it would stall... and if I gave it a little gas while it reved up she'd die instantly... then went to try again an hour later and it started right up again with a little engine hesitation and is idling at 1100rpm (a bit faster than normal idle)
Any ideas what could possibly be causing this... I was searching around the forums to see if someone had this problem before and I noticed a few posts mentioned the map sensor... or tos sensor.

Check the engine grounds it is possible that you have a loose or broken ground wire and that it is jumping around causing your car to die at diffrent times maybe the engine vibration at higher idle is knocking it lose. i hope this helps you out that was the problem on my car if it doesnt work for you let me know then ill tell you the engine diag procidures i went through for a no start problem i had.

k, my neon started again and was working fine .... now... a day later... after driving it a lot... it died again... and wont start again.... just turns... the fuel pump sounds like it's working fine.... this time it stalled as I was driving so I tried jump starting it while it was still in motion and it didn't work... it felt like I was at the end of an elastic band, hard to explain really....
didn't sputter or anything...
any ideas once again would be greatly appreciated

Well guys you won't beleive what was wrong with my car.... I guess my gas lines froze up....
Mechanic said I should always be rolling around with more than just 10$ of gas in there...
Gonna keep her at full tank I guess to keep this from hapening again...

One thing that is common is that little O2 sensor. I know it gave me plenty of problems with my 95. If your check engine light is on, go over to an auto parts store. Most of them have the readers to pinpoint the problem area or sensors that would be causing you problems. Check it out and let us know.
