Why does my ford tempo keep stalling?

Asked by Anthony_Brown Jun 16, 2020 at 02:02 PM about the 1989 Ford Tempo LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1989 Ford tempo. It’s a nice car but
whenever I stop at a red light or stop sign or even
idle in traffic the car stalls and dies. There was hose
going into the air filter that I fixed and it stopped for
awhile but now it’s doing it again.

Check the other hoses too that go to the intake, sounds like a vacuum and or air leak.
