It WAS cutting out intermittently @ various speeds, more so @ slower ones (esp. in rain and up hill)
Previous owners rebuilt transmission, replaced torque converter & Fuel Filter
I recently (last 2 weeks) replaced: plugs wires dist cap rotor Oil & filter
If I accelerate slowly it will sorta cut out, if I accelerate very slowly, it will die.
Any idea what might be causing this?
any input appreciated!
Bad fuel pump - test the fuel pressure gunked up throttle body - clean
sounds like a lot of shotgunning on this one and no real diagnosis.

Hey, when Ur right, Ur right!
I'm shotguning, from the hip @ that! =)
Taking what OTHERS know and trying to apply it in ways that do NOT break my precious transportation. BEFORE I pay some a small fortune to get the thing up and running again.

So, I tried Bob's plan, but that's not working.
What is the best way to check fuel pump / pressure. being a 2000 and garaged, I wouldn't bet that a line is cracked even a small amount. I've never had anything but condensation from AC Cmprsr on my garage floor.
Thanks for looking and for the *helpful* posts.
from what I've read it doesn't look like I've got a schrader valve on this vehicle. :(
I've also noticed that the engine never cuts out while you're driving around. There is no problem driving down the highway. However, @ really low speeds, in other words, going from a complete stop to 5mph it will die if you accelerate slowly, however, if you drive a little faster, it picks up fine.
any help is appreciated.

alright, Napa dood says to check the EGR & the vacuum hoses coming off of that (3 of 'em) I pulled 'em off looked @ 'em and they're NOT cracked, they're all flexible and fine, so I'm not sure what to think of THAT...anyway, it seems to have stopped...not sure though.
driving some more to see what we get from 0-5mph.
can the EGR go bad and cause this or does it just go bad and not start?
