Hi,


These are the model years with wiring problems. You should take note that the ignition coil is powered by the rectangular firewall connector. I would make sure that the harness is still intact at this location, and also that the ignition coil is receiving power at the time of stall. You may want to bypass the harness and supply voltage directly to coil terminal #15.

If you fail, you should also ascertain that the engine has no intake air leaks, as this will throw the mixture lean, and in extreme cases will stall the engine.

Check the 25 amp fuse AND socket near the battery. This powers the entire injection system.
