Fuel problems either the fuel pump can not keep up to the demand or a inline fuel filter is starving your engine because it is partially blocked.

SOURCE: 1995 pontiac bonneville stalls

I just went through lots of troubleshooting and expense on my 1996. Whenever I would lift my foot off the accelerator and was below about 30 mph, the rpm's would starts jumping around and sometimes it would stall. If I gave it a little gas (accelerator), I could sometimes keep it running. It also backfired once in a while. Starts right back up. Also, if I let it idle while in part, it would die after 1-2 minutes.

I ended up finding a hole in the fuel regulator. About a ~$70 part if you get an AC Delco, but very simple to change.

Check and clean the idle control solenoid and passages, check the throttle position sensor and perhaps the crank sensor. Don't buy anything without testing or you will be spending money on stuff you don't need.
If stumped, get a chiltons or haynes manual and go through the test procedures they outline. Any good shop does this and you should too!
If it tends to stall that tells me that the iac is possibly opening late (sticking) but that can also happen if it gets bad information from the control system. (where testing is important)

Possible plugged fuel filter or weak fuel pump. Take the car to AutoZone or similar business to get a free read of the computer even though no warning light is on. Good luck!

What would cause my 2005 Chevy Cobalt to have to be placed in reverse, then to drive to get the vehicle to accelerate?

Some problem in the valve body most likely. Do you get any fault codes when you scan the engine/transmission control module?

Car running rough at random when accelerating and also idle drops suddenly when slowing down and often completely stalls out when I stop. Smells strongly of gasoline when it stalls/almost stalls but I

This could be a lot of things. one of the tests that you need to run is shift it into nuetral when you are stopping and see if it still drops RPM and wants to stall. This will eliminate or conclude that it is a transmission issue. If it is still doing this then it could be a vacuum leak or fuel delivery issue.

Had the same problem with mine. Check and clean your throttle body, as well as all hoses leading from you air filter all the way to the engine. Took a bottle of carb cleaner, a rag, and some q-tips.

2006 cobalt hard to start after fueling it up, must push on the accelerator pedal to get it started, then must put at high idle for few seconds or the car stalls when put in gear. check engine light is on.

Very likly your over filling the car with fuel. You shold only fill the car till it stops the fuel handle the firstr tim after that you may be filling the evaprotive fuel system with raw gas the engine is pulling this fuel thight the vacume system and it stumbles on this extra fuel till it burns it all. If in doubt shut off the fuel pump early as your wasting the extra fuel your putting in anyway.

Wont keep idle, car stalls out

I had this same problem on my 2005 monte carlo, took mechanic a while to figure out it was the idle air control valve. They also replace the idle air control motor.
