STALLING, rough idle, flooding...

Today, when I would come to a stop, the car would sputter, have a fluctuating idle, and it would than stall. The dummy lights would come on, and I would lose all power in the car.

When I would try to restart, it would be flooded. The only way to get it started would be the embarassing fuse trick.

Any ideas? I have not tried to adjust my TPS yet, but I hope that will cure the idle.

Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone.

When I get a chance, i am doing an ATF and then replacing the plugs. Then changing the oil. It has only been 1100 miles, but over 3 months, due to the fact that I rarely drove during winter. Going to look at TPS too. It definantly needs adjuststing. My idle is soooo lumpy

Im pretty pissed right now. Yesterday, my car died coming home when I came to a stop on the offramp (first time it could idle)

The same night it died basically everytime I stopped. Luckily each time it just needed a good fuse switch.

Today it died and the fuses didnt work. I had to go back later and get my car
