I could drive down the road, it does fine, I come to a stop sign, it'll shut off. I crank it right back up put it in drive and go or if I'm just turning it around in the yard, I got to go for reverse to drive or drive to reverse about 25% of the time it'll stall out and shut off. I can put it in neutral in little crank right back up throttle body's been rebuilt new intake gaskets new brake booster. I have no clue I need help.

Hi,

The engine stalling can be several different things. Most commonly, it is caused by an engine vacuum leak. Have you checked for any leaks? If not, start with this.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Next, have you checked if any diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the computer that may help point us in the right direction? Since this is a 1995, it should be an OBD1 system. All you need is a short jumper wire or even a paper clip. 1 system. Follow this link to see if there are codes stored:

Try these things and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
