Sounds like a fuel problem. Try running a tank of premium gasoline this should solve your problem. You see short trips on any motor all the time is hard on them. They like to get out and stretch there legs..another words take it out for some longer trips and start using a better grade of gasoline. If this don't work clean your plug and your fuel system. Good luck..ps.Mobil and Shell are both very good fuels..all grades..

When my lincoln town car 1993 dies when i stop do i have a serious problem?

No read the fix below.

Engine stalling issue at low speeds

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

I have a Grand Am, manual trans. quad 4, with 137,000. Having a problem with bucking sometimes on take-off or driving and try to accelator and it bucks. Have done the following things..new air...

DON'T KNOW THAT THE CAUSE IS BUT 900 RPM IS WAY TOO HIGH FOR A NORMAL IDLE SPEED.
WHILE IT IDLING HOSE THE ENGINE WITH A MIST OF WATER AND LISTEN FOR A CHANGE IN IDLE SPEED OR AN ELECTRICAL SHORTING SOUND.
SHORTING SOUND = PLUG WIRES
SPEED CHANGE = A VACUME LEAK.

Fuel/accelerator problems. dies when accelating or at idle. runs when accelerator held in one position for a short while.

CHECK THE IDLE SPEED SENSOR, UNPLUG IT AND SEE IF THE VEHICLE REVS UP A BIT. IF IT DOES, THEN REPLACE IT. ALSO CHECK THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE FUSEBOX. HOPE THIS HELPS. .LET ME KNOW. GOOD LUCK

Engine over revs at initial start up without touch accelerator. Shut down and restart, sometimes problems goes away.

it all depends on what yr the ford is b/c my grandmas car dose it a lot when you go to shut the car off make sure it is in park and it is in a idle then when you start it it should be fine if not go under the hood and see if it accelator can be lossened a littel bit if so it will save you on gas and the idle wont be as high. if that dose not work then dont worrie about it it wont harm the car any and dont pump the gas pedall while the car is not running
