Engine Performance problem
1992 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 160K miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Symptoms: Driving in the city, my car starts "choking" while at a stop sign and eventually dying. Usually, it starts right back up or after a short time. Once it dies and restarts, anytime I stop it dies again unless I put it into neutral and rev the engine. It also will start to hesitate between stops and at times will stall. Once, I get it on the highway, it runs fine.
I have had fuel line problems in my car for the last two years. I've had the fuel pump replaced, the MAP sensor replaced, fuel regulator replaced and the throttle body cleaned.
I've had a couple different mechanics look at it and there have a couple of suggestions - fuel injectors, computer. What other things should I be looking at?
Besides this recurring problem, the engine runs great.
Thanks.
