So I was having a lot of trouble lately and thought I'd share. She'd start fine and run fine but once it got up to temp shed die at every red light. So I'd stop at the light and as soon as I'd take my foot off the brakes and press the gas she'd stall. Felt like a fuel issue. So I changed the following parts : fuel pump, fuel filter, tbi injectors, ignition control module, throttle position sensor and finally the part that fixed it.... drum roll please engine coolant temp sensor. I had no idea that part could cause so much trouble. So I hope this helps someone out there.

Classic example of throwing parts at a problem in an attempt to solve it. It's very expensive compared to diagnosing and repairing. Glad you got it fixed.

Trust me we tried to diagnose it but the sensor wasn't (bad) enough to throw a check engine code so the only choice I had was trail and error.
