Tries to stall when accelerating and shifting into second gear

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

If the check engine light is on, scan the computer to determine diagnostic trouble codes. Many parts stores will do it for free. If you have a scanner, here is a quick video that shows it being done:

If there are no codes, I question fuel pressure. To me, it sounds like a fuel pressure issue. That is the first thing I would suggest checking.

Here is a link that shows how it is done in general:

Here are the manufacturer's specs for required fuel pressure.

Fuel System Pressure .................... 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi)

Check that and let me know what you find. Also, in the link, it explains how to also check the fuel pressure regulator. Make sure you do that too.

Take care,
Joe
