Car just shuts off when I put it in gear or if it idles for a few minutes. Just looking for a list of possible problems to know where to look.

Good morning.

Some possibilities:

1. Dirty throttle body.

2. Idle air control not working correctly.

3. Base idle needs to be set.

4. Fuel pressure too low.

5. Mass air flow sensor.
