ST stalling when driving, small but happening

[Jose Ayala]

Hey you all.



My ST, 2003 with 63k started to demostrate stalling when driving, normal miles. When I punch it, does not do it, bu when normal driving occurs, it does, and it is becoming more constant as of today.



Could it be the fuel filter, I changed the first one around 36k





Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Check the PCV tube elbow and DPFE sensor for vacuum leaks, clean the IAC (see Todd Z's project).

Jose, I don't want to sound like a plug, ok I will anyway, for Zabteck, but if you get their fuel pressure gauge and install it then you will be able to tell if it is a fuel pressure problem, such as a clogged fuel filter or fuel pump problem. The first thing I would do is set the throttle screw up a little and see if it is a problem with the idle. If it is, I would try what Rodger said._Ron

Thanks guys.



I already started the conversations with Todd about the fuel pressure gauge and I want to do it.



I will try the screw first and hopefully rthis will resolve the issue. Anyway I am due for a fuel filter, I will replace it and try the screw like I said and will see what happens.

Question to Ron,



should I screw clockwise the screw to open a little bit or the opposite?



Thank's

Clockwise, open the throttle blade, slightly..
