Can anyone help with this: My engine had been stalling at idle speed and hesitating while on the road. Yesterday it stalled while I was waiting for a grenn light and wouldn't start again. Since then I have replaced the fuel filter but it's still the same. I also installed the most inexpensive set of sparkplug wires recently, and noticed improvement but it became bas again.
Thanks in advance for any advice you might send my way. :)
