I have a 1997 Buick Skylark Custom, that I've owned since it was about a year old, with a 2.4L engine with about 179,000 miles on it and for about 2 years now it has been stalling when I accelerate from a stop or slow coast and intermittently when coming to a stop from freeway speeds. I've had the local parts shop put a scanner on it and only got that it was running rich, I'm assuming to compensate for whatever the problem may be. I also noticed that my mileage has been affect since I used to get nearly 30mpg on the freeway and I'm now getting about
23-25mpg on the average. The stalling is the worst during stop and go traffic, usually I have to sit there and give it a little gas (about 1000 or so rpm) before I start moving so it will not stall. It doesn't seem to matter if I place into park or neutral, it will stall about 50% of the time. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated since I really do love this car.- posted
