Default Car Stalls

Don't know what's wrong--car starts & idles OK but when you push on the accelerator--it stalls.

Hi again.

We need to know what car you have, what year, model, engine, transmission. Most likely I'll just refer you to the proper Generation section but please tell me what you have.

Okay, if it's a 1990 then it's a C4 (4th generation) and I don't know anything about those, I never had one. So I'll just refer you to the C4 General Forum. Just post a thread there, again saying what you have and what's wrong, what help you need. Remember with the Holiday weekend there probably won't be as many people on the Forum as usual so be patient and try to check in often so you can interact with people who might ask you questions. Good luck. Happy Thanksgiving.

Click this link for the C4 General Forum then just post a new thread.

I've moved your thread into the C4 General Discussion, as it's probably the best section to be able to find someone most knowledgeable on the C4 to help answer your questions.

Good luck!

We already replaced the Fuel Pump, Found out one of the injectors was bad and had it fixed, but she still stalls--could it be the ECM? Someone said something about that.

Make sure they checked the fuel pressure at the rail. Pull codes stored in ecm if you are gettind a check engine light. Clean maf and throttle body. Don't start just throwing parts at it.
