1985 Mercury Marquis V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

as you can see I have a 1985 grand marquis and it cuts off when I stop a a stop sign or red light. It also shuts off when I put it in reverse. My cousin thinks its a clogged fuel injector. What do you think? Would a clogged fuel injector do that or could there be another problem?

Many things can do it, plugged fuel filter, vacuum leak, needing a tune up, low fuel pressure. Has the check engine light ever come on?

If you are getting a back fire, first I would check for vacuum leaks. Also, does it seem any worse when it is damp outside?

No not really. It seems to run good for a short period but then starts acting up.
