98 Lesabre stalls when put into gear
I have a 1998 Lesabre with just shy of 160k miles. When I was given the car it was giving a P0171 code, which I believe I have now solved. I have replaced the PCV valve, plugs & wires, battery, mass air flow sensor, upstream o2 sensor, alternator, purge valve solenoid and the idle air control (IAC) valve. Now when I drive the car for a while, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, I start it back up and the car wants to stall when put into gear. I am not getting a check engine light. Any ideas as to what my problem might be?

Get us those codes. We can play guessing games all day long as to what'* wrong.

The car does jerk sometimes when its about to stall out. The car idles fine on cold start up, shifts fine when first started. The stalling & jerking happens after I have driven it a while and let it sit for 15-20 minutes and restart it.

When you replaced the IAC valve, did you clean inside where the pintle seals?
