Engine Performance problem
2001 Geo Prizm Automatic 135000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes when I start my car it stalls. The car will shake and then the engine will die. Other times I start my car, engine sounds like it is running fine, I pull out and as soon as I come to a stop my car shakes and stalls. This might happen for awhile until the engine is warmed up. Also, and not all the time when I am driving my car hesistates as my foot is on the gas peddle, like it is trying to go but only has so much power. My idle has been adjusted but see no difference. Also just got new spark plugs.

Check the fuel pressure with a mechanical gauge, scan the PCM for any current or history codes.
