Ok so the other day when i was doing some running around i was in walmarts parking lot and when i would take off from a stop the car would almost die everytime and did die 2 times but started right back up. Have had no issues with the car runs great today when I drove it.

A little more info may help. If it's a manual trans, ease up a little slower with the clutch pedal.
Did this just start happening? Did you just fill the gas tank before it started doing this?
Does it chug, sputter, cough, buck, sneeze, or wheeze before it kills, or does it outright die on you? Is your SES light on?

Never know could prolly be cuz you had too much gas or somthing I noticed cammy69 was going down that rode a bit..drive it around a lil longer feel/see if anythin else unusual occurs if the problem goes away prolly was jus a lil involuntary human error..

He means the engine code. If it was your key code your car wouldn't start. If the engine light ever came on it would hold the info and when you plug in a obd code reader it'll pop up with a 6 digit number starting with a P. From there you'll be able to find more info on what's wrong. Also how's your volt meter on your car? Could be a worn out alternator not being able to produce the power to run the car with the initial load at take off.

Your problem sounds like fuel delivery. When you step on the gas it's stalling because the engine isn't getting enough fuel. Has your fuel filter ever been changed? If not change that first. If you still have the problem, do a fuel pressure test.

im leaning with mrfreez i have worked on cars for awhile now and it seems fuel related by the way its acting. I do not have a scanner for obd1 i only have one for obd2. the charging system stays a 14. the key im talking bout is basically like the jumper wire. I was told it was the 2 ports all the way to the right on the top row. I tried them and the light didnt do anything. Others told me you cant read codes from a 94. Car has not done it again I just mite replace the fuel filter and maybe fuel pressure regulator.
