When I am driving the car runs fine, but as soon as I start to come to a complete stop the car starts to jump and when I come to a stop the car dies. It starts back fine but when I put it in drive or reverse it dies. I replaced the fuel filter and put sea foam fuel injector cleaner in it and it runs better but still stalls. When replaced the fuel filter in it and put cleaner through it I drove it for about 60 miles and it started jumping and wanting to stall. I got almost home it quit. So my guess that the fuel injectors is sticking. If that is the case do I need a speical tool to take the old ones out? If that does not work what else could it be?

Hi, do you think the TCC, torque converter clutch, might be causing an issue? If it doesn't unlock coming to a stop, it acts like a manual tranny when you don't use the clutch, coming to a stop. Are there any trouble codes? If you think it is a fuel issue, use a fuel pressure gage. Clean the throttle-body.
