need help tracking down issue
hey can anyone help me out i am having an issue with the engine galloping sending a shudder through the car and then dieing while i am driving it. it usually happens when i stop at a stop sign but has also happened after a turn on a straight road. 03glgold was thinking a vaccume leak somewhere, or maybe just need to change the fuel filter?

What engine?
What year?
How many miles?
I am also thinking vacuum or fuel related, but it could be a lot of things.

I haven't had the chance to look at it enough to tell when driving, but in the 30 seconds it idled from cold start it seemed like there was a minute amount of jumping (less than 100 rpm variance)...It seems to me though like they complain about it being worse when it has been raining and from what I understand it started in the rain...I know he checked the fuse panels for corrosion already because that wasn't to hard for him to check, I also wonder if tps couldn't be a potential problem with the miles it has
EDIT: found this video and it may be of assistance to some

yes rpm do jump, and usually around 500-1000 rpm range at 500 rpm is when it will die

Before you overthink it, have you ever pondered if it can be your TPS? Those things make the car act screwy when they're bad. I know on a Jeep I drive every now and then, the TPS on that engine made the car jump RPM during start up and then every now and then it would shift extremely hard into gears. Changed it, and the car drove fine since.
I'm not saying these other parts won't be it, but it can get simple as that at times.

Does anybody know what would cause cutting out when im giving it about 1/4 throttle on small load while driving? It will still run but you can hear it cutting out a little bit and its alot worse when the a/c is on..I have already replaced the fuel pump,fuel regulator,airl filter,maf,spark plugs, ignition coils (ECHLIN) brand so not cheapo,IACV.

actully turned out to be a hose on the underside of the air box somehow came off or was loose i took the box off gave the hose a good shove back on and it has not done it as bad, i need to go and adjust it a little further though my wife was driving it and it died on her again, but just needs a small adjustment to fix.
