Car stalls when put in to park - Cars & Trucks

You may have a problem with the idle control. What are your RPGs showing when you put it in gear?

but starts?, (you lift off the s) ok it always starts.
when put in park, well gee is starts only in park and neutral.?
the engine stalls. try stating what engine does good and bad and when.
so it idles all day.?
but has no engine power.? when? in gear. in drive.?
if tuned up , is it, do the 60,000 mile list.
what engine, cars have many different engines.
we open the hood and its obvious, on line, nada. SSDD.

reasons. for stalling, if that is what it does, cant tell from above.
1: fuel starvation. weak fuel pump. or the 60k filter never ever changed.
2: got a MAF sensor on car, its dirty, or bad.

who do you accelerate in park?????
my wild guess,? car stalls when driving?
does it stall hot or cold engine or both.?
ever do a tuneup this decade or every 60,000 miles at least?

Use a bottle of yellow HEET dry gas to remove any moisture problem in the fuel.

Clean / replace air filter.
Check ATF at level ground. Top off to MAX level.

Use starting fluid to aid starting.

Check your crank shaft sensor. You may also try to clean your throttle body.

did you check the fluid in the transmissin it could be low or also it could need a new transmission filter i wouldnt try to drive it it anymore without checkin or changin it because it will burn it up

I have a 1989 5-series BMW which sometimes stalls after changing from reverse to drive. It also sometimes shakes when first driving in reverse before changing to drive.

try fuel injector cleaner

It can be either the shift cable or the Automatic parking brake release.
With your vehicle stalling it sounds like the parking brake release is leaking vacuum and causing stalling.

You can check with Autozone or Oreillys to see if there is an aftermarket part for that. Then locate the Auot release on your vehicle and when you take it off, slide the parts within the fixture to verify sticking.

When was the last time the car was tuned up?
