Sputters and dies in any gear but is worse when in drive when stoping at a red light or stop sign.

It runs fine during acceleration and while driving. However, it sputters and dies sometimes while in park or neutral. If I put it in any gear it will sputter and die immediately (after acting up in park or neutral) without acceleration. I can put it in gear and give it gas and it is fine. If I let off the gas and bring the car to a stop, it sputters and dies. I have replaced the crank and cam sensors, along with the fuel filter. Diagnostics from the computer at Auto Zone says crank and cam pending. Any ideas?

SOURCE: when slowing down & stopping 2005 Mazda tribute sputters and dies

Sounds like it could possibly be a vaccume problem, the computer sees that the vaccume has a low pressure and thus fludding the engine, or visa versa, it's seeing too high of a pressure and cutting the fuel comsumption to a minumum enough to make the engine sputter and die.. Does this happen when the cars in Netural or Reverse or Park? Just Drive?

SOURCE: gas not getting to engine

sounds like your fuel pump, normally fuel pumps die gradually not just like that, so best check fule pump fuses first, also i can not remeber if these have a fuel cut off switch, this is normally located arround the fire wall it looks like a red or black rubber button, if you have one you can press that and see if that sorts it, if not then it more than likley is the fuel pump and will possibly need replacing, but check the other things first, better a new fuse than a new pump...hope that helps a bit

You may have dirty or clogged fuel injectors, may also be problems with the ignition system. Might also check the fuel pressure to make sure the fuel pump is working correctly.

I have a 2003 Harley Davidson edition F 150 that when you drive it consistently for greater than 15 to 20 minutes and come to a stop dies

I recommend you hook up a scanner and view the data coming off the tps, map, etc. while driving. I'm thinking the tps may be going out and does not drop properly when you take your foot off the pedal. The pcm may not be engaging the iac until the truck dies and is restarted. You need live data to solve this problem.

F350 diesel sputtering

Sounds like the throttle body needs a good cleaning. Remove the air hose going to the throttle boy, have a look inside if it looks really dirty, black etc, on the front, the back will be much worse. Remove it, clean it, and re-install it. Lots of videos on you-tube showing you how.

The car starts fine and responds to throttle for about 5 mins then starts coughing and stalls starts up again straight away then repeats

you did'nt specify what year,engine size, or model. but what you describe,is a common poblem.the engine idle control sensor may be bad.is your check engine light "on"? this may be why the lights on. but the light may not be on at all, and the idle control sensor may still be bad. it starts fine, then idles fine for awhile,until you put it into gear to drive it,then it sputters,or dies. or else you start it and then put it into drive on the clear road,then give it full throttle gas on the floor,it takes off fine and runs great,until you come to stop sign or red light,then it dies? suspect a bad idle control sensor 1st then suspect clogged fuel injectors. which can be cleaned easily by adding sea foam,or lucas fuel injector cleaner to your fuel tank. no service fees due. thank you for choosing fixya.com. we always look forward to assisting you in your needs,automotive,or just about anything you need assistance with,fixya.com can assist you with! and again,thank you for choosing fixya.com!

From red light truck started sputtering and and stalled out

Hello. The GMC Sierra has an electric fuel pump so you should ensure that its fuses and relays are working before checking it. You may need to clean your fuel pump or replace it if your gas tank is not empty, but your vehicle has difficulty getting fuel. The GMC Sierra comes in a variety of styles and trim levels that can affect the replacement fuel pump you choose.

The inside of the ignition dealer (Delco) must be thoroughly cleaned and all metal parts passed with fine metal wool. Sparkplugs must also be cleaned or renewed. The air inlet-valve is very sensitive. The cylinder and the disc must be carefully cleaned with light metal wool and contact cleaner. The fault is due to the disc remaining stuck in the cylinder, so no idle function and malfunction of the auto-choke system. If this solution does not work, then the vacuum pressure is defective.Hint from a German Mercedes specialist.
