Engine shutting off at red lights
I realize that this question is not for my "thirdgen" car, but I'm desperate! In addition to my camaro, I also have a 95' Grand Prix 3.1 liter engine, automatic. It has started occasionally stalling while in a stopped position. Once I give it gas, it's fine. I can stop the stalling process by giving it gas. Please Help!!! Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

he is right, it could be any number of things. a dirty fuel filter will do the same thing, or a weak fuel pump. yes, a TPS would do it, but i dont know if the IAC would. just my .02
