SOURCE: sputtering like crazy!!

I had a very similar problem we had a timing belt issue.
the car would not go over 50 and would sputter horribly.
We replaced all the belts and it has been fine since
I had replaced many other things before this one was figured out including two fuel pumps (ouch)

SOURCE: 1995 lincoln town car Rear air suspension problem

There is a way to permanately fix the solution to air ride suspension- get rid of them. Go online and there are several companies selling parts to replace everything you need- or do the smart thing and take them out and replace them with lifetime shocks. You can convert your car for a fraction of the price and never have to deal with them again.

I am sooo glad I did it on my car. It rides just as smooth too. Also, you don't have to worry about eroding boots, failing compressors/pumps, etc.

Suncore Industries is who I used and the things have been champ for 3 years running. And for only $249.00. No I don't work there!

your having a TPS (throttle position sensor) or ISC (idle speed control) sensor problem u need to have your car checked using an electronic scan tool to locate the faulty sensor to avoid costly replacement of unnecessary parts.

SOURCE: engine light is blinking and the car runs rough,not enough power.

You shouldn't have taken the car back,nor should the shop given you the vehicle,if you were willing to have it properly repaired.
The MIL Light is an indication of an issue or two and you said it runs rough and has no power. What more does a shop need. Repair it.

Is the Fuel Filter fairly new
Did they Clean the MAF Sensor,and make sure your air filter cover is on correctly,and you have no vacuum leaks.
They can look at all sensor data and resolve this ,if they wanted to.

Testimonial: "I will take my car to different shop and ask them to look at these possibilities. Thank you."

Last week my check engine light came on Auto zone said it was mass air flow sensor the next day my car would not stay running like it was running out of gas

So you replaced the sensor and now the light is back on, right? Have you checked the code again to make sure it's still the MAF sensor code? If so, you've got a connector or wiring harness issue.

93 newyorker salon 3.3L starts and runs but wont excelarate just pukes and dies when we give it gas

It sounds like you have an air flow problem. Go backwards from the throttle body to air cleaner. possible IAC valve stuck closed or open, possible Mas Air Flow sensor. The lack of air is causing the engine to die Good Luck Friend.

When i come to a stop the car wants to die unless u keep ur foot on the gas

Hi Wendi:
If the engine runs fine except when you don't have your foot on the gas, maybe the idle stop needs to be adjusted. With the engine off, have someone step on the gas pedal while you look at the linkage at the carb. There should be a plate with a screw in it that keeps the butterfly valve from closing completely. This can be adjusted with the engine running. (SAFETY FIRST - MOVING PARTS CAN BITE)
If the engine will only run at not nice too high RPM, chances are that the idle jet in the carb is plugged, and a carb cleaning and possibly overhaul may be needed.

It could also be the MAF sensor. These get dirty and cause hesitation and sometimes will not start due to "something" covering the air flow. It doesn't take much to cause this sensor to act up.

2000 Cougar - Car hesitates, acts like no gas getting to it,

you may need to use a high octane gas to clean your injectors and replace the inline gas filter as this should cure the problem. On the wiper blades that is more than likeley the relay switch that is connected to them it should be located near the firewall on the driverside.
