Car is dying or surging at stoplights
The idle is fairly smooth. I just put in a brand new racetronix fuel pump and new fuel filter in tonight. It is throwing a code while i sit at the stoplights and it almost dies or does die. I had this same problem about a month ago and I put a new maf on it and it started working fine until now. It surges periodically when driving like its wanting to shift or somtin while going like 60 and it throws a code. My car is a 1995 with obd1 comp and obd2 plug.
I have replaced plugs/wires/opti/fuel pump/fuel filter/radiator flush all very recently. What could be wrong with my car. I will try to go get it scanned by rigging up the autozone scanner to see if it will work. Any suggestions would help. -Michael

yeah, if not the alternator then try the battery, I know that seems kinda basic and mundane but just check it...I live in Florida and with the heat my battery starting going about two years after I got it, car would surge and all the stuff would turn off and on at random, it was pretty alarming going through lightless roads and having my head-lights cut out briefly...but yeah, I replaced the battery and all has been fine for the past year or so now...

Ok, I'll try taking in the alternator to see if that is the problem. I don't think its the battery cuz my lights never go, the car just dies. Its real weird. it only happens about once a day. i am prolly gonna get a scanner by the end of the week so I'll be able to check the code for sure. Thanks, Michael
