Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Geo Prizm Front Wheel Drive Automatic 154000 miles

Fuel filter, fuel pump, rotor and cap, timing chain, and tune up all done/replaced = and car continues to stall at stop lights, and hesitates when driving (like not getting enough fuel). Any further suggestions. Problem doesn't occur until car is warmed up - approximately 1/2 hour. Then runs like crap and stalls out.

Then the TCC (torque convertor clutch) may be stuck.

It locks the convertor at about 45mph for better fuel economy. If stuck in locked position, it will cause car to stall when stopping.

Have a trans shop diagnos it, as you have to remove valve body for repair.
