i was driving to work today, when all of a sudden the motor started surging really bad, and eventually stalled on me. after trying to start it, it would start but then eventually stall a few seconds after. what could this be?

SOUNDS LIKE A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER. MINE DID THAT ONCE AND THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS. THIS IS JUST MY GUESS. HAVE SOMEONE DO A SCAN ON IT TO SEE THE TROUBLE CODES.

can you do a scan on a 1990? i didnt think you could... I'm going to replace the fuel filter later tonight, because its been a while since its been replaced anyways. I'll let you guys know if this is the problem, otherwise I'll be back for more input! thanks

be sure and check for a vaccum hose off....this will cause it to surge and run really rough, possi ly stallout
First thing to check is the fuel pressure. I think it's supposed to be 15 lbs on the throttle body engines. Chances are most likely that your fuel pump is dying a slow agonizing death.
