I just had transmission rebuilt yesterday so I drive out of shop and come to stop and it dies when I turned on a/c and check engine light comes on. I drive to auto zone and he says could be fuel injectors dirty.I take to some other mech. And he says could be sensors. Then I take to third mech shop, he checks for free and says it the distributor and needs a whole tune up.(300 for everything) and while doing all this driving it idles very low and stopped everytime I came to complete stop! What is the problem with this car? Please someone help

Hi elongoria,

What was the trouble code for the CEL showing? I need to know the exact code to see if it is related?

Does the engine stall without the AC turned ON?

Did you check if the MAP sensor vacumn is dislodged ot incorrectly installed?
