[Shotimes] Getting Very Frustrated - Random Stalling

[cmichaelo@optonline.net]

Mike,

Sounds like IAC has nothing to do with this.

Sounds like you're loosing spark.

Several things can cause this:

- Did you check computer codes?

- Check your DIS module. Is it cracked? Clean the connectors. Is it properly grounded through the crossover tube?

- When's the last time you replaced the crankshaft (CPK) sensor? Are you loosing coolant btw? If so, your waterpump may be leaking and causing intermittent malfunction of the CPK.

- When you stall, does your tach drop to zero?  That's a sign of CPK trouble.

Just some thoughts...
