Need urgent help with my taurus

[sixerguy98]

I have a 1992 Ford Taurus that when cold shuts off in park. But once it is warmed up he shuts off and is real rough when it is at a light or stop sign. I put it in neutral and it is able to stay on but actually idles rough in neutral. I put new distributor cap, plugs, wires, and rotor already on it. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong. I need help urgently..please help if you can.

Thank you

Clean out the throttle body.The back of the blade is probly sludged up badly(very common to all cars).Remove it,lay it face down on a rag and pour in some ATF.(don't use carb cleaner-wrecks the seals).Let it sit,then clean it out with an old toothbrush.Also clean out the IAC,or idle air control solenoid on the side of the throttle body.Remove it,disassemble the top from bottom with the two phillips screws and the clean the OPEN PART WITH TWO HOLES with throttle body cleaner or carb cleaner.Just don't get the top(motor) end full of fluid,it'll trash it.

Other stuff to check-vacuum leaks,dirty air filter,fuel pressure(changed the filter recently?),and even the transmission fluid and condition.If it's brown,or smells burnt,then it could be the trans that's causing the problems.If these quick fixes don't do it,get it checked professionally as it could be a bigger problem like a head gasket etc.
