My car will crank up and idle with no problem but when I attempt to drive, it stutters real bad and eventually go dead. I've took it to both a transmission and auto shop and came up with the same diagnosis " need spark plugs/wires". have since changed out and continues to do the same. at the auto shop payed 79.00 to run scan test and did not show nothing. talked to a mechanic and described symptoms to him and he suggested it was transmission sensor. looked this morning and took sensor off and took to oreilly's and was identified as speed sensor. if the sensor was faulty would it cause this to happen[img:89b8c18876]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/228774_Image014_2.jpg[/img:89b8c18876]

Check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge and comeback with the readings this is where we start
