Mitsubishi montero stalls, but is able to start

The "service engine soon" light has been turning on and off for months. Finally the car stalled during idle. The only way to keep he engine runing is to keep he foot lightly kn the gas pedal. Meanwhle the "service engine soon" comes on and goes off. The exhaust smells rich or as if is not burning lean.

Must have a bad o2 sensor need to check with a scanner auto zone and advance auto parts do it for free.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your help. I really really appreciate it. will look at it tomorrow. How can I rule out the fuel filter or the fuel pump"

    the fuel filter or fuel pump would not cause the smell you described you could have multiple issues. the fuel filter could cause your acceleration issue but it would be very sluggish not intermittent.

    auto zone and advance auto parts also loan out tools check to see if they have a fuel pressure test kit.

Why is my Montero stalling out when I slow down to make a turn or when I stop?

Your idle air bypass motor is bad or fouled with carbon deposits. Remove it and clean it with throttle body cleaner . If that don't work replace it

Service engine soon light went on on my mitsubishi montero sport 2000

you can take it to any autozone or advanced auto to get the light scanned but before you purchase whatever sensor they tell you to get, find a good mechanic that can give a second opinion. Often a sensor can be thrown off by another faulty sensor that may not come up during scan.
