Welcome to the forum, how long since a tune-up? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Are you saying the vehicle won't idle?

We replace the plugs and wries we check the voltege to the coil, the fuel pressure is good the engine idles at the right rpm. The car dies when you drive it but starts wright back up you can hold the brake and run the engine at 2000 rpm and will not die
thanks ron

Does you scanner show live engine data? What is the fuel pressure spec? Does the pressure hold good when the vehicle stalls? I need something to hang my hat on, I haven't found it yet.

What was the fuel pressure spec when it stalled and did the pressure hold? Did the scanner data show anything off, when the vehicle stalled?
