Needed a second vehicle for the wife to drive about a mile and a half each way to work. Her Mother had an ''''88 Mercury Sable wagon for next to nothing and in nice shape. The engine is a 3.0 I believe. Anyway engine runs great when it''s running, LOL but after she starts it and drives about 3/4 of a mile it stalls out at a red light, or at the bank teller window. Anyway, it''s never while you are going down the road, just when she stops and only after it has been running for a few minutes. Runs great on start up, but stalls after running or idling. It that the fuel filter? Someone said it could be the pump, but why would it only do that when stopped and idling? any help would be great!! Also, where the HELL is the dang filter anyway??
