stalling in intersetion=not fun
today i took my car out for the first time since i got it running. It kept wanting to stall at the lights so i checked and it had a bad map sensor so me and my friend made a quick autozone run and put in a new one and it ran much better. The we went to the muffler shop to have a new exhaust done and it was an hour wait so we decided to go get his car so we didnt have to wait while it was gewtting done. On the way home my car started running horrible and i ended up almost stopped in the intersetion of 2 busy roads, i pulled off in the car died... its still at that intersection. We were pretty sure it ran out of gas cause it kinda started back up but fuel was barely dripping in the intake. so we got a can of gas and filled it up but nothing worked. we put a little gas in the intake and tried to prime it... didnt work. im thinking maybe the fuel line is plugged since the car sat for 3 years maybe a little rust got in the line and clogged the filter. the pump is new (new since b4 it was parked). anyone have any ideas on waht might be wrong??

Bad gas... Drain it and replace it.

My car stalls all the time too. Well just recently actually. Whenever I come to a stop I have to put it into neutral and rev the gas. I'm carbureted though so I'm almost positive it has to do with that. Either that or my spark. I tightened the screws on my distributor and it started running awesome, now it's back to stalling again. Oh well.
