Sounds like either wires are not connected properly, or need new set of wires. More likely wires are installed incorrectly. One other possibility is wrong plugs or installed improperly

My 2001 mazda tribute dies while driving. And blows the fuse to my radio. It will stay on as long as I press the gas pedal but come to a stop light it will die, it will die at a stop light even after...

Hi,this could be a lot of things,I would say to you to first service the car,you need to get these parts done first so you can liminate these from the problem,some times a service with a tune up sorts the problem out,if you cant afford to have it servised then try just changing the spark plugs and air filter,as if the filter is derty when comeing to a stop the fuel air mixture will be wrong so will stall,if spark plugs are worn then when the car comes to a stop the sparkplugs will get wet and stall,hope this was some help.

Car misses and cuts out!!!

Ron

It sounds like you have done everything Unfortunately it is hard to diagnose because al of the above is what I would have done

I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra and had a similar problem and I took the car to Cotterman transmission
(because it would hardly go engine rattled and lurched and stalled) they put an electronic diagnostic and said I had a mis fire on cylinder 2 and 4

I bought the best spark plug wire and boot kit and 4 plugs and replaced and it runs like a top!

It almost sounds like you have bad gas I would remove the air cleaner and spray starting fluid
into the carb while car is running ad see f it smooths out this will tell you if it is gas



Best of luck

Engine shakes whole car

More than likely it is your engine mounts. If you have cracked or deteriorated mounts, the engine will vibrate with the symptoms you have posted.
