Car studdered at stop
Yesterday I was driving to an interview and came to a stop light when suddenly I felt a strange surging throughout the car. I thought it was the music but thought, "I don't remember Steve Miller Band having that much bass." So I turned the music down and sure enough the car felt like it was starving for fuel and sputtered while I was waiting to go. When I did get on the gas again it went away and hasn't been back since.
What on earth happened?! :?:

Making me wonder if the FPR or Fuel pressure is giving way....
When was the last time you checked?
Should be 48-55 PSI... You have a service manual on that ? I think its 48-55 PSI...
Just a thought anyhow...
It would be kinda strange if you had the same crank sensor issue as you had with the 94...LOL

Happens to my *** all the time. My idle is waaay too low for the car, and it always feels like that if the car is up to temp, and I am off the gas. There is also something a little messed up with my throttle return, so I can get the car to idle even lower if I pull it. It'll usually stall at that point, however.

If it happened once and hasn't repeated call it a technical difficulty. A spot of water in the gas or whatever.
If it recurs...then we can help ya out. But a one time thing...

Now the 91 did the weird crapp about a year ago and has never done it again...
Hard to say with these cars.... But I guess any computer can have a little fart from time to time..
