[Shotimes] Help with stalling SHO

[Carl Prochilo]

There is a general theme here and in some other posts.  For instance, I
recently inquired about what to about the fuel pump which has 214K miles
on it.  As much as mileage, age also plays a role.  The answer I got back
was "CHANGE THAT DAMN THING".  If you want to keep a car this old on the
road, you have to tackle preventative maintenance or risk the
consequences.
