Just bought a 87' tempo. It has a 2.3l, throttle body fuel injection and 136,000k on it. The problem is that the car stalls at random times. It does not stall at idle. It usually sputters some before it dies. I'm thinking its a fuel delivery problem. The fuel filter looks fairly new. I haven't done too much yet as far as diagnosis so any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is a problem for most tempos i have seen. When i was getting my car aligned i told the mech about it and he replaced a some line/hose and it hasnt happened since. Sorry but i dont know which one it is, was a $5 part though.
