I have a 98 plymouth neon,which i just put a brand new timing and water pump in it. It starts bt it putters and acts like it wants to turn of bt stays running until i put it in drive or reverse then it will stahl and i have to start it again. As long as i get going it works just fine bt if it idles too long or i am driving to slow it will stahl again and i have to keep restarting it.And when i have to start it sometimes i have to press down on the gas a little bit for it to start. Whats wrong with my car?
