I have recently purchased a, 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE, with a 2.4 liter Automatic Twin Cam engine, with 111,500 miles on it. I notice that when I come to a stop at lights or stopsigns the car loses power, and dies on me, I've noticed that it has more of a tendency to die when slowing down and making a turn, but once I put it back in park it starts up right away with no problem. The engine runs quiet and doesnt lose power normally. I had a diagnostic ran and had the crank sensor replaced, but it is still dying on me. I even cleaned the throttle bottle with throttle body and air intake cleaner. I dont think that its a weak ignition spark because the engine runs so sound. Is there anything else that could be a problem? Could the idle be set to low, or is it the fuel pump? I am at a loss and would appreciate any help u guys could give me. Thanx
