I have a 94 850 non-turbo with about 115K on it, with a VERY annoying problem.

You;ll be driving along, and all of a sudden, it just dies, usually after applying power after a stop or slow down. Sometimes it'll take an immediate restart, and sometimes (like today), it wont. Today it seemed to take forever to get it to restart; once restarted it ran just fine with no issues, but I came right home as I didnt trust it. It has done it 4 times now in the past 3 weeks.

The Check engine light is on, but its just for the front oxygen sensor (2-1-2); no other codes are stored.

One other issue, much more minor, is when you apply cruise. Say you command cruise at 60 MPH, the speed will drift down to about 55 MPH before engaging the cruise; then it will accelerate back to 60 and hold it rock steady.

Ideas?
