[color=blue:3fa311c5ee][/color:3fa311c5ee] My 1998 Ford Contour is stalling every time I put in gear "Like Drive and Reverse" . After it stalls it starts back up fine, it also stalls sometimes when i am driving as I apply the brake. And when it stall It does not idle ruff AT ALL, it stalls very quick and silent.

These are the parts I replaced but still didn't fix it:

Fuel Filter, Air Filter, oil change, and oil filter.

Hope someone could help me out :D

Thank you.

One of the first things I would check would be vacuum lines for leaks... This would show adverse effect when the brakes are applied, and when it is put into gear.

Start "dry", with a thourough visual inspection of the lines and the plastic ends and connectors. Check the intake manifold as well, as this is where the cycle for the vacuum is started. If you do not see a rubbed spot, loose end, or anything else that is supect, grab the safety glasses. I use a cleaner called Chemtool. With the engine running, and all safety gear in place, carefully spray down the intake gasket area, and all the vacuum lines you can reach safely. If you have a small leak, it will run the rpm's up a bit... If you have a large leak, it will kill the motor.

Best of luck with your repair.
