Default Car Randomly stalling and not wanting to start

Ok aside from everything else thats wrong with this car (95 civic,auto,1.5 non Vtec) Now when driving it will randomly stall, If u try and give it gas to keep it running it will just kill over quicker, and when u first start it if u try and give it gas to idle it up it will try to die, but it hasnt yet. It give no warning but it seems like when its going into lower rpm's like after it shifts for example is when it seems like it wants to die.??? Any help will be awsome, cause i gotta get this thing running ASAP

check the fuel pump. the car probably isn't getting enough gas

I agree.

Gen5unknown, you also might benefit by replacing the fuel filter, which could be clogged. By the way, you will find that the same advice was given in your earlier related thread. Please do not get offended, but you should now look carefully at all advice given to date, and decide on a reasonable course of action. I know this may not be easy, but the problem won't be solved until you try something.

ive replaced the fuel filter, and fuel pump. plugs and new wires, its still not doing its thing lol. I think it might all just because from it being outta time, and im guessing it jumped time again cause now its not starting

I mentioned this in the other thread too, but if it has jumped time, you really must put a new timing belt on or it's going to do it again, or worse.

you might want to do some basic test.... then see where your at....

for example: check for spark, check fuel press., check compression...etc

your issue could be a lot of things.. but we need to know how these other sysems and your engine are doing...
