People are dicks in CT if they did not help push your car.
Back last December I was going to a job interview in my Integra. I was making a left hand turn and the car just died. The igniter died on me. I immediately put on my hazards and jumped out to start pushing my car. The 2 cars behind me instantly also threw on their hazards and got out to help me push my car to the side. Sitting on the side of the road waiting for a ride to come pick me up so that I could get home and get in my Miata, 2 more cars stopped and asked if I needed any help. People in the south to seem to be much more helpful in times of need like that.

So far people have suggested the fuel filter, CAS, PCM relay, bad starter, bad alternator, vacuum leak, etc etc. I was hoping to find a few people that have the same exact problem with some type of solution to the problem.
I got the car on the road (purchase price, tax, reg) for under $2k, so its not exactly my prized possession. I needed something other than the miata to get me around and at the time it was the best thing I could find in the price range I was working with.
Now I'm thinking about getting a used LGT. I just worry cause working for myself and not knowing the certainty of my week to week income has me hesitant to put another bill on the table. At the very least I need to get the Ford back on the road until I figure out what to do.

I'll do whatever work that has to be done, I'd just rather fix what needs fixed rather than throwing parts at the car.

i guessed something along these lines. you said it likes to stall when your coasting to a stop which means the fuel would be going to the front of the gas tank and maybe that is why the car stalls? does it do this when you have above half a tank or below? could this cause air to get into lines and run dry until he cranks it enough?
