IS YOUR LOUD VIBRATION A LOUD RATTLE IF SO IT COULD BE YOUR CAT BREAKING UP THIS WILL CAUSE BAD RUNNING ..GIVE YOUR ENGINE A GOOD REV 3 or 4 TIMES OUT OF GEAR AND LISTEN FOR A RATTLE,,,,, HOPE THIS HELPS IF NOT CHECK THAT THE EXHAUST IS NOT BLOCKED ?? BEST OF LUCK-ELL BOY.

SOURCE: Running rough and stalls during wet weather otherwise runs fine.

Your ignition coil is cracked. Replace it with a new OEM unit.

SOURCE: 2001 Nissan Maxima- runs rough, stalls when idle

Timing belt could have skipped a tooth.

Horrible vacuum leak could have started. Listen for suction noises when you raise the hood.

Someone could have poured sugar in your tank.

You could have put diesel in your tank instead of gas.

Could be a bad MAP sensor, TPS sensor, etc.

Need more details to be precise.

SOURCE: car runs rough and stalls. 03 ford focus code

You have a cooling problem with this vehicle, what happens is that as soon as the engine is running too hot the PCM starts by switching some of the cylinders off to try and control the temperature but if you ignore this the PCM will start cutting out two cylinders at a time and restricting the RPM to 3000rpm only, called limp mode. This trouble code will be registered in the PCM under the code P2199
If you still ignore this the PCM will switch the engine off completely to avoid serious damage to the engine
Have a look at the coolant level, Radiator leaks, Water pump, thermostat, blocked radiator
Hope this will help you

2001 dodge dakoto ran stopped at store turned engine off, back to start engine started but run rough an stalls . wont stay running without foot on gas but runs rough and stalls when take foot off gas

This could be he Idle Control Valve and is around 50 dollars and a easy fix. Also try STP 5 in 1 fuel cleaner for a couple of tanks if you are using the cheap gas

My car was running just fine nd one day just died. Thought i ran outta gas put gas in wouldn't stat started. When running I tried putting in gear keeps stalling out but while in park runs rough.

I just did a BWM, The MAF sensor plug was sloppy. I fixed that. The problem wasn't as bad, but was still there. I tapped on the sensor and it was considerably worse. MAF sensor fixed it. There are many other things that could cause this also. Year make and model helps.

Why my 2004 ford focus is stalling and when i use the air it stalls also can you help me?

A/C compressor going bad ,maybe ! Had 03 focus same problem ,without the A/C on the car ran great . When turning on the A/C the PCM - engine computer is suppose to raise the vehicle idle so it doesn't stall . How does your car run without the A/C on .

Car stalled out and now won't start

Sounds like the same thing I ran into (again mine is a Mits Mir 2001). I guess I'm late in replying though. Never knew about this site. Anyway, its probably the timing belt. My car died too just like it ran outta fuel. However I made the mistake of cranking the engine. That's a bad idea, you may end up damaging the engine.
