Q: Stalls starting driving turning. 1992 Chrysler New Yorker

asked by on September 01, 2016

I have a car that stalls when I’m trying to start it. It usually starts up fine after the third time. But when I put it in park it always starts right up. Sometimes the car will suddenly stop dead while driving in traffic or turning in traffic. Do you know how I can fix these problems?
