I don't know what type of vehicle or year of your car, but I had a plugged gas filter on a nissan doing the same thing.

My car is doing the same thing it also has the same new parts as yours.I have been told to try changing the o2 sensor or checking the catalitic cinverter

Have you checked for power in and out of switch at top of pedal when pedal depressed?

u can find fiReing order, look at your engine from front of car the head and valve cover farthest foward is #1 IN FRONT OPPOSITE SIDE #2, EVEN 1 SIDE-- ODD THE OTHER , ONE SIDE IS 1,3,5,7, BEING HEAD FAR FOWARD, OTHER SIDE 2,4,6,8 front to back

Yes, have someone drain all fluid and change trans. fluid and clean trans. filter screen its probably over 50% plugged. i had same problem. wasn't shifting properly and sometimes wouldn't shift into high gear causing loss of fuel mileage on highway and running at higher rpm then it should The filter is metal i believe and can be cleaned out. whatever the shop recomends. anyway took care of the problem. That was at Tires Plus for me.

had same problem, fuel pump and fuel filter fixes problem, on 2nd pump in 5 years. they say don't drive enough and keep more fuel in tank so pump doesn't have to work so hard in winter

this has a fairly easy fix. that vehicle has several belts as it does not have a serpentine belt it requires 2-3 depending on features. call the local parts store and request the belts for all your accessories,, you will NEED alternator, water pump /fan belt. as these belts fit from the crank to the accessory there is not defined path, for example from the crank to the alternator. also you will need 2 belts for the A/C compressor, as i remember it.

It should be mounted on the firewall.

you should just have 2 take the 2 bolts out that hold the colom up and it will drop down 2 gain easy access

The 5 bolts in the rocket shaft bolts should be torqued to 17 ft.lbs. Hope this helps.

haynes makes a good do it yourself manual that is available at most auto part stores.

Can you hear the starter solenoid clicking when you try to start? If not, the problem is likely a worn out ignition switch. If you hear clicking, check for 12.6 volts at the starter motor terminal when trying to start. If you get voltage, the motor itself is dead--probably bad brushes inside the case. Most people just replace the starter with a rebuilt one. Hope this helps!

Disconnect the battery negative terminal. Remove the one large and one small wires from the starter. Starter is secured to transmission with one bolt and one nut/lockwasher. I think they are 9/16" fasteners.

It should be hooked up to the trans follow it

you should pick up a manual for your car as it will have the information you will need and diagrams for other work you would like to do to it.

The carburetor spits when its flooded - so something must be wrong inside it. Since this is the second time it has stalled when turning left it appears that the level in the bowl is higher than it should so the mixture is way richer : turning left pushes the fuel to the left in the bowl, making the momentary level even higher over the jets so the mixture gets so rich that it can't be lighted anymore so the engine stalls.
You will have to dismantle the carburetor, check the float for leaks and readjust it before reassembling it. While you are there check the size of the jets, they might be larger than normal.
