I have 96 contour that stalls on city driving when you let up on the gas at stop signs/lights. Going to try the easy stuff first. I haven't looked at it yet, but was wondering how many fuel filters it has and where are they and the fuel pump? We also had the torque converter recently changed, so I will also be looking for vacum hoses that were not replace correctly. Plugs and wire changed 3 years ago. The check engine light is on. Will a can of B-12 in the gas tank help/hurt anything?
Thanks.
Thanks.

It wouldnt hurt to change the plugs again.
The fuel filter is located near the passenger side rear tire. Look underneath the car in front of the tire and you cant miss it.
Fuel pump is located underneath the rear seats. Pull off the cushion, and youll see the fuel pump canister. Youll have to use tin snips to cut to pry back the sheet metal. Once you do that, grab a flat head screwdriver and hit the retaining ring with a hammer until it spins loose. Unplug the black and red hoses and the fuel pump canister pulls out.
It probably wouldnt hurt to replace the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve either.
Btw, see what you CEL is.
