Q: Stalling issue
when im driving my car stalls out on me. When it comes to a complete stop it gets locked into park. The car will krank over but will not start. the only way im able to get it to start up is by shooting starting fluid straight into the corroborator. My question is that if this is either an issue with my spark plugs or fuel pump? i do have both p0420 and p1456 engine light code.
