1993 Ford Tempo mileage: 143,000. The car stalls when you come to a stop while driving. It can be started right away and I can be on my way until I have to stop again. I can drive the car back and forth in the drive way and it will not stall when I stop it, only when I have been driving then come to a stop does this problem occur. Any hints?

Many things can cause the stalling you described. Have you had a tune up lately? You may have a sticking idle speed control motor, a faulty EGR valve, a faulty fuel pump, a lock-up converter in the transmission not unlocking (if automatic) to name the usual suspects.

Will it still stall if you keep foot on gas a little when coming to stop? It could possibly be your TPS.
