87 323 sw stalls at idle and hesitates during acceleration and in gear idle is irratic at stoplight.In park or neutral engine runs rough in lower rpm but fine in higher rpm. Fuel filter or pump or MAF?

If you have never changed your Oxygen sensor, this is most likely the cause of the problem; the symptoms you describe are attributbale to a failing or dead Oxygen sensor. I assume the car has recently been tuned (including a new fuel filter) and the problem persists. Cheers Malcolm Hi Malcolm. Thanks for the tip. I changed the oxygen sensor and it has improved somewhat, but did not quite fixed the problem. It appears that idling is irratic when I'm at a stop light. So far, though, after the oxygen sensor change, engine hasn't stalled. It appears that this problem is pronounced when the engine has warmed up. I purchased a fuel filter and will replace it, but am not confident that it will fix the problem. Any other thoughts are welcome. Thanks. Harukim It turns out that the ignition wire was bad. I replaced the ignition wire and my car is running fine now. It appears that it's been running on 3 cylinders(no 4th). Thanks everyone.

Why does 1987 Nova hesitates?
Well I posted the question and did not explain! While the car is in park or neutral is accelerates well. When you put it in gear and hit the gas it stumbles or hesitates really bad. You can push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the engine will continue to idle then it will pick up and run with some slight misses! Fuel problem????
Why does your fiesta vibrate in neutral?
If the car is in neutral, you accelerate (press the gas pedal) and the vibrations reduce and even disappear then it's a problem with the clutch. If the car is in neutral and it vibrates regardless of your acceleration, then it's a problem in the gear box. If you're lucky, it's only a faulty bearing that needs to be replaced.
Why does your 325IS shake only between 40-50 mph during both acceleration and slowing down and even when it's in neutral?
Tires or rims out of balanceBent wheel

Why would a 1996 Ford Probe SE stall-pause when in gear neutral and appond-during acceleration?
Mass airflow sensor is dirty or needs replaced. Try that first.

Usually a squealing sound upon acceleration , or even just revving the engine in neutral , indicates a worn or loose fan belt .
Only one force acts on an object can the object have zero acceleration or zero velocity?
It is not possible for acceleration to have zero acceleration because the force acting on the object is gravity and g=9.8m/s squared. Gravity is the acceleration It can however have a zero velocity
When starting a dirt bike should you hold the clutch?
It all depends on what kind of dirt bike you have. If the clutch isn't a centrifugal clutch, (which means the clutch engages a certain acceleration speed) then usually the bike will force you to be in neutral, and hold in the clutch when starting it. If it is a centrifugal clutch, then usually you only have to be in neutral, since the driver isn't in control of the clutch. hope this helps.
