occasional stall/studder

I am having the same freakin problem...when I put it in reverse, sometimes it just dies on me...and I hear a loud hiss when I start the car in the morning...I have a wagon 86 240...I remember kicking the fuse panel a couple of days ago...I'll check for fuse 4...

Sounds like a bad vacuum leak.

vacuum leak? The FPR has a little hose going to the intake manifold...that tends to come off once in a while...it does not have a hose clamp on it...

thanks, but what about the loud hissing noise when I start it in the morning by the fuel pump?

A snake? cat? not sure

I thought you were refering to a hissing noise inside the cabin, like a vacuum leak with the climate controls ...

Are you sure it's in the fuel pump area? The only thing I can think of there is a fuel leak or a failed evaporative emissions canister. In some cases the hose to the canister can come off around the fuel tank and, combined with a bad valve in the canister, can cause a constant vacuum leak underneath the car.

yes, from the pump area...every morning when I start the car it will "spool up" or sounds like the pump needs to shoot a lot of "initial gas" making a hissing noise then a couple of seconds later it will stop...the car is kind of lagging...I drive 70 miles a day, even though it is a lot I feel that it is using too much gas...
