Stall Problem

Big Baby:

Rusty67 is sending you on the right path, imo. Couple things to look at:

* loose ground. Grounds are fairly common problems with older vehicles. Corrosion or a poor connection will cause trouble. At the battery, look at the connections very carefully. If you see "green" stuff, that's corrosion and a sign that the cable may be in poor shape.

* How old is your battery? It may have a loose plate or it may just be heading south.

* Look at the crank position sensor. You'll have to lift the A/C compressor but it's just loosening 3 long bolts and holding the compressor out of the way with some heavy string or a bent coat hanger. The sensor is exposed to oil and is magnetic and can pick up crud over time. It's worth pulling out, wiping down, and confirming it is OK. Also, check the wiring harness. The belt comes close to it and may have made a small cut in the wire.

* Is your gas tank above 1/3? The fuel pump is much happier with some liquid sitting on it. Old fuel pumps don't like to be naked, in particular. Check the wiring to the pump and confirm it is OK. If your fuel filter has 15 or 20k, it's time to think about a new one.

* Check the little signal wires to the two coil packs. Take the plugs off and look for corrosion. Clean with a toothpick and put a tiny dab of dielectric grease on each metal contact and reinstall the plug.

That's about all I can offer at the moment.

HTH,
