My Car Stalls Out
Hi. I own a 1989 Sundance car. It recently has a timing belt replacement. My car has begun to stall and die, but only when I slow down for a turn OR stop at an intersection. I lose power steering and everything. If I catch it fast enough, I press the gas pedal, and my car responds sluggishly (NOT fun crossing major highway intersections!). I took it to the mechanic, but he "didn't find anything wrong" with it.

Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
Check your injectors, and if theres a ticking sound coming from the engine check your rockers and your push rods. The other thing would be checking the timing on your timing belt.

Seems like not enough gas is getting to the engine which causes it to stall. Either fuel lines or gas tank might be a little clogged up or you can possibly have someone adjust the throttle cable so that when your not pressing on the pedal, more gas is going in the engine so it wont stall out. Another idea you can do temporary, is when your slowing down to a intersection or stop light sign/light, put the transmission to neutral and just keep it revved up a little bit until you have to go. Other then that, try going to a different mechanic. Hope I helped in some way.

got some dirt in the gas tank. you're gonna have to drop the tank, then syphon out all the gas, and get the gas tank itself cleaned out. this is a problem that happens to a lot of plymouth sundance's on account of plymouth using mitsubishi parts on their cars. and as we all know. mitsubishi makes terrible cars. this is another example. over time dirt and muck build up in the fuel tank. you'll have to drop it and clean it. change the fuel filter, fuel lines, and other such parts as well. as they're all connected and prolly all dirty.
