Asked by Brian Jul 03, 2020 at 12:19 AM about the 1989 Mercury Sable GS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1989 mercury sable 3.0 v6. Car stalls when hot.
Replaced fuel injectors, battery, pcv, throttle
position sensor, starter,  idle air control, fuel pump,
fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator. Car runs good
until hot. Will bog down when accelerator is
pressed and backfire. Also raw fuel smell.  Could it
be an electrical problem like a coil or something
else?

With that old a car I would have the catalytic converters and muffler checked. Sounds like an exhaust restriction.
