my lebaron 3.0L Mitsubishi V6, 404t auto trans. has about 116000 mi. Died while I was driving around 30 mph. it started when I turn the key then immediatly died again and would not hold idle. I held my foot on the gas until it held idleing. I've replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, and even coolant sensor. Car died on me once since then and seems to have a lower rpm at higher speeds and rpms dip lower then normal at deceleration and bounces back almost feeling like the car wants to die again. I'm running out of ideas and solutions any good ones out there??
Thanks, John
 
Try cleaning the throttle body. Any carbon on the butterfly or around the IAC (idle air control) motor will prevent the car from idling. Just remove the throttle body (easy, 2 bolts) and clean thoroughly with carb cleaner and a scotch brite pad

Fuel filter (clogging causes this problem and also causes fuel pump to burn out). Does you car run when the gas tank is full and then dies as the level drops? If so, then the fuel filter and burned out pump are my best guess.
