87tc stalls when you shift gears
I have a 1987 tc that keeps stalling out when I shift gears and when I tap the gas a little,could a clogged fuel filter cause this.Also there is a whinning sound coming from around the gas tank(fuel pump fighting clogged fuel filter?)

let me ask you this, when you start the car in park, does it run nice or does it sound like it wants to stall as soon as you start it??? let me know. |

When I first start the car it idles kind of high, then two seconds later it idles low.When it idles low sometimes it will surge like high idle then low. Either way once it idles down then it wants to stall when you shift gears or when you tap the gas.

that sounds exactly like your idle air control has gone bad. the symptoms you are telling me is exactly what my buddys 91 town car did and his 88 chrysler new yorker. get your idle air control checked out. that sounds like your problem. |
