one owner professionaly serviced- now its come to me
ok when it warms up she stalls, starts sometimes and goes...
I drove it for 20 minutes, it stalled, ran for another couple miles,
stalled, started and stalled after a block, parked it.
It goes, runs for seconds, as soon as i hit the pedal the rpms jump and it
stalls...
I can hear the fuel pump going when i turn the ignition, it has a
distributor and rotor not a coil pack.
The lady said, it stalls sometimes. Told me that she had to get it towed a
couple times. She changed afew sensors under the hood, but didnt touch the
O2 sensor on the exhaust.I imagine her mechanic could not find the problem
for whatever reason, or perhaps she was tired of getting nickled and dimed
to death.

Its a SUNBIRD sorry, dont know why i always get them confused...I am sure
some learned person would have pointed that out
to wit- I went and started her up this morning, no problem bought her into
my garage(20 min runtime) and she is going up in the air
called for an O2 sensor- $31.95
any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks

It was a wiring problem, some power wire coming off the battery, maybe a
re-routing job, it was cashed at the splice.
I changed the O2 sensor because the check guages light came on, that
stopped.
It wouldn't idle so I turned up the idle screw, it kept revving
periodically, up down up down, maybe 200 rpm drop but ran fine otherwise.
