I have a 1990 buick lesabre with low mileage. it was running good. but now all of a sudden it stalls while driving. its a hard cold start now. wasn't before. stalls when idling also back fires at start. and seems like its not getting enough gas to the engine.. Catalytic converter was "glowing red" when this started to happen. I replaced the converter along with brand new exhaust system. It still stalls. What else could be the problem. and how can i diagnosis this problem?
thanks
Tom
