Here is the problem, i have a 92 plymouth acclaim that has 23,000 miles on it and it was working fine but now it will not idle and keeps stalling. most of the time now it will not even start up without giving it gas. the car was giving a fault code 13, which is the map sensor. I have replaced that as well as the pcv valve, idle sensor, idle control motor, distributor, spark plugs, and all/most of the vaccum lines. after all of that was replaced took it for a test drive and it was fine but then started it up later and it started stalling again and could not get it out of the driveway. any suggestions...
thanks:)

Did you check fuel pressure? When it started stalling, did any codes come back?

Can you rule out the fuel system as the cause for the problem?

If the vehicle will stay running with the throttle cracked, that usually indicates an idle air problem. I did see everything you replaced, but, did you clean the throttle-body and passages?
