93' FD stalls out randomly while driving.

An explanation. It doesn't happen all the time, I can drive for an hour and it won't happen, or I can drive for an hour and it will happen every 10 minutes. I usually notice it the most when stopped at a light and in neutral, the car will just stall out. However, it has happened while driving too. A little putter and then done.

I've just changed the oil, oil filter, and fuel filter. Previous owner told me he changed all the vacuum lines less than 2 months ago.

Has anyone had this issue before, and would I be able to get some help on this?

Thanks in advanced!

sounds like you could also be having an electrical issue here, like a loose connector or loose wire hanging out of a connector, of course the new vacuum lines would be questionable as well, good luck

I would have guessed a bad fuel pump?

I would do a reset on the ecu and let the ecu re-learn its idle.
