When I stop at a light or in traffic, my car, 1998 Aurora, will stall. It restarts with no problem. I have changed all plugs, wires, coil packs, and fuel filter. I do not get any codes or a Service Engine light. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Here is the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
Hello, you may want a Chiltons or Haynes Repair Manual for this one. I would check that your idle speed is set correctly. I would try to run some fuel injector cleaner through your system becuase you may have dirty in your fuel injectors. This may be a bad or clogged catalytic converter. Your ignition timing may be off. Your EGR valve may be bad as well. I would check your distributor cap and button. Your distributor gears may be worn or rounded. There may be a vaccum leak. I would check the air filter as well. Thank you.
