Default 1999 Buick Regal GS randomly stalls driving

I have this 1999 Buick Regal gs I’m pulling my hair out over the car has. Major blogging problem at full throttle turned out it was bag plus now that that’* fixed the car like to randomly die while I drive it the rpm’* will just drop to 0 and **** off unless I try to give it a little gas for it to stay running I tried a new mass air flow idle control vale and throttle sensor I check the fuel pressure it was getting 10 KR on the highway at full throttle and still misfiring on a couple cylinders I’m not sure what it could be it’* making me nuts almost afraid to drive the car it’* not throwing any check engine codes or even old codes also the gas mileage is horrible now spending $5 just to go driving around town for 5 minutes any suggestions please

How many miles on it?

How many miles have you owned it?

How long have you owned it?

Any major surgery in this car'* life that you are aware of?

What was bag? . . . ?

I'm assuming [shut off] here. Is this at idle, low speed, or high speed?

This makes me think "bad IAC valve" so far, pending answers above.

"it was getting 10" . . . ???

If it was getting 10PSI fuel pressure, that'* the problem. It wouldn't run on 10PSI though. "KR" tells me knock retard but "10 KR" confuses.

I'm thinking some re-punctuation might help clarify . . . ?

I would be, for your sake and the car'*. Gotta fix the problem or you might damage stuff.

Yeah, if your car were running well you'd be able to average 60MPH in five minutes before pulling into a gas station to measure. That math adds up to about 2.8MPG in my region. That much fuel going through your car in that short of a distance would do lots of bad things to the car. Likely melt the catalytic converter regardless of what else gets ruined.

Get us some clarity and we'll try to assist.

Thanks!

sorry about the typo'* it was early when i just got up and typing on the phone i just purchased the car about a week ago it has about 155k miles on it this stalling problem just started to happen about 3 days ago the car had a bad bogging problem at full throttle found out it was bad plugs they looked original from 1999 AC delco to be honest all had cracks in them it was purchased from someone in my town who had it for 2 years she knew nothing about the car only fixed some issues to pass inspection a couple months ago new windshield and brake lines the stalling issue is ill be going down the road and randomly the car will stall when i take my foot off the gas only at low RPM it seems but it will start back up no problem it seems to be happening at random times usually after i drive it for more then 5 minutes i replaced the IAC valve the mass air flow sensor and throttle sensor and still no luck the knock retard was 10 degrees on the highway once we tried to go full throttle from about 50-60 mph and i was still getting a couple of misfires on cylinder 2 and 3 we checked the fuel pressure at idle and it seemed fine

Just a quick thought before I head to the barn. Did you try to clean the throttle body and do a idle learn, or disconnect the positive battery cable at the battery and touch it to the negative to do a reset. Just a thought, hope you find this helpful
