The idler regulator maintains proper engine speed when stopped, whether in first gear stopped at a light or while in park. It sounds as if this part is not operating correctly and thus the engine stalls out.

This could be a number of things but i think that your problem sounds like a vacuum leak or an EGR problem. Try listening for leaks and try un-plugging the EGR solenoid valve one time.

SOURCE: it violently shakes when parked or when stopped

If it shakes, it is normally either a bad motor mount (if the car runs fine) or your car is "missing" on one or more cylinders (misfire). The belt will squeal because they stretch with use. That can be solved by replacing the belt or tightening the belt. The squealing sound won't go away until you do one of those two things and is unrelated to the shaking. You PROBABLY are experiencing a very "rough idle" if any of the hoses to the intake (top of the motor) have a hole or crack in them from heat or age. This is common and is the first thing to look for to avoid high repair bills. Bad (worn out) spark plugs or old cracked plug wires can also cause a misfire. You could also have a bad coil pack, but mine has gone 186,000 miles without coil replacement or new plugs or wires and I've only changed the fuel filter once. Another possiblity is a faulty Idle Position Sensor that is not properly regulating the fuel delivery. Normally that would cause an engine light to come on also though and you can have someone at the parts store "read the code" once the engine light comes on.

My 2002 kia sedona won't idle until warms up, dies when put into gear ...any ideas??

Is the check engine light on? you could have a bad ignition fail sensor, TPS sensor, or bad o2 sensor. it could also be a bad mass air flow sensor or a vacuum leak. without a code to help pin point the problem I'd start by checking those things first. Maybe try unplugging the mass airflow sensor and start it up and see if anything changes.

1994 Ford Ranger low power

Ok, it sounds as though your fuel pressure regulator or injector lines or injectors are leaking. What engine is in the vehicle? Is the engine light flashing? Does it start hard and blow smoke on startup?

Code p0171 on 98 ford ranger

Well code 171 means the O2 sensor is telling the computer the fuel mixture is too lean and the computer can not make it go rich by increasing on time for the injectors.
The problem could be the O2 sensor, or low fuel pressure, or several other factors.

My 2002 buick rendezvous will not go above 4000 rpm's. The engine loses power and feels like it is misfiring.

I would check into replacing a fuel pressure regulator its easy to install and it usually under 10 bucks.

lights- check the door switch on the door column near the hinge. you didn't say what year your jeep is so check the ligth switch is it set for the lights to come on and is the bulb good.do you have electric at the fuse and at the bulb.

Now for the engine;
1. adjust the carb. and chock and linkage. - no carb; check fuel injectors.
2. have you replaced fuel filter, air filter, oil filter and changed the oil.
3. replace spark plugs and look a old ones; are they clean or oily / wet, brown, black.
4. check plug wires.
