I Have a 1998 ford contour with 124,000 mliles and on average its 95 plus degrees in florida.I have done the basic tune up for the car except 4 changing the spark plugs-but the car will sputter or cough in idle-and on some occasions will die while the car has stopped and is in dies in gear- but then starts right back up fine- any ideas?
thanksINadvance

I would check the idle air control valve along with the mass airflow sensor and airfilter
