Keeps stalling at red lights and in reverse not every time but about 4 or 5 times know. Also I thought maybe was low idle but cant find where to up the idle at.
The computer controls idle speed-not adjustable. Check your idle control valve or motor for proper operation. Clean your throttle body with throttle body intake cleaner-get all the old carbon, varnish, and gum deposits removed. Check for any diagnostic trouble codes. Check that your air filter is clean. Your MAP sensor might need testing by a shop, or see if a known good one helps.
Dependent on what year you have. If it has an idle speed motor that could be cleaned as well as the throttle body. Idle speed motor may need to be replaced sometimes a good cleaning hooks them right up.
been having the same kind of trouble with mine, Have been told that the fuel sock on the fuel pump may be glogged and that I should drop the tank and clean it out and repace that fuel sock to stop the problem, my Chilton's manual says to depressurize the CFI, but i cant figure out how, does anyone know how, or if this might fix the problem, I've been told if it doesnt I may need a fuel pump.
check your fuel pressure, both engine off, key on, and engine running. compare it to specification for your car. CFI is throttle body injection, and the pressure on most is about 13-19...check your specs. easier than dropping the tank to check the strainer. Tp relieve pressure, take out the fuel pump fuse and run the engine until it dies-runs out of fuel-very low pressure in the lines then, a lot of drips though, have a rag handy. and also checking the fuel pressure is pretty definitive if you need a new fuel pump or not.

When you turn the key on does the check engine light come on? If not it may be burned out. It sounds like a MAP sensor or an O2 sensor is bad. I would suggest taking it to autozone as they do free diagnostic and seeing if a code comes up. If it is a sensor it should, if not it may be the idle sensor not reading right in the ECU. More than likely it is one of the sensors though.
