99 taurus stalling

this problem first accured when i was at a stop light. when you have the car in drive and idling for about 2 minutes, the car just dies. everything is good including the battery. the car just starts to vibrate and dies. my dad thinks it could be the fuel filter. any suggestions would be helpful. thanks for your time.

:disappoin Hi. I have the exact same problem with my 98 taurus LX. it started last year may 2004 and it died all the time until oct 2004 when it got cold outside. then this past week it started to die again. Last summer i had $3400 in work done. It was not the transmission. AAMCO said it was and did the $2200 work and it still is dying. I also had the idle motor replaced, the fuel injector system cleaned twice and did the 306090 maintance done. it is still dying. It seems when the car has been driving for a while or sitting in park with the air on, when I try to take off in drive or reverse it dies. It takes longer to die on N. No one can figure out what it wrong. I have 126500 miles on car. Do not do trannie unless they guarantee that they will find what is wrong after they do the trannie and find that is not the problem. That was my mistake after all that work they sent me to another mechanic and that mech wanted even more money to put it on another computer.

thanks for the reply but as i looked at the engine while it was running i heard a hissing noise. i then found a vacuum leak under the intake manifold and fixed the problem for 54 cents. good luck to you.
