ok i have an 1988 mazda RX7 SE N/A it has an auto transmission and then engine starts and runs fine but when you put it in any gear but park and nuteral it will run for like 30 seconds then stall out even if u let out hte brake. Ive talk to a few GM techs at work and a few other techs an none of them can figure it out. It would be helpfull if you could help me.
Thanks NJS

have you checked for any vack leaks? because it can be getting the air it needs but when its in gear it needs more air because its useing more power because of the tran makein it go, if that makes any sence to you.. simple turm drive = more hp needed =more are flow, witch means if its not gitting enuf air flow, then no hp = eng will stall.. lol so look for a hose unpluged or a crack in one the little thing can and will do this to your car.. if its not that, then im not sure what to tell u, another q and a would b, dose it go at all like if u give it gas? and then when u let off the gas it stalls?
