I have a 1996 2.8 fwd... Car drives fine during acceleration and coasting while in gear, but as soon as I take it out of gear and come to a stop, the car stalls out unless I feather the gas pedal.... Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone know what MIGHT be causing this? It just started a few minutes ago... And I replaced my fuel filter last night also

 

Another thing, it only dies out after I drive it and come to a stop, but when I first start the car and it idles its fine, I thought maybe it had to do with me giving it gas, so I gave it about 5k rpms and it went back to idle with out any problems... So I'm lost, if u have any ideas lemme know thanks

 

scan you car for codes. it could be your MAF. did you put your fuel filter on correctly? i believe it's a one way valve you can force stuff the opposite way with enough pressure

 

Check for codes.

However, this is often a symptom of a dirty butterfly valve at the intake.
Try some cleaner (not carb cleaner) and gently scrub with a tooth brush to remove built up crud and carbon.

 

umm whats a butterfly valve? lol.... and yes i put the filter on right... same way it came off.. but i just got home.. and it hasnt done it since, so hopefully it was just a spaz attack lol

 

like hiwords said check your MAF same thing happened to me i just had a buddy rev it and I noticed that the engine wasnt breathing thats why i also suggest ditching the stock airbox
