940 Turbo Wagon Stalls 900 1993

Greetings everyone.

I'm hoping somemone can help me out with my '93 940 Turbo Wagon. Here's the problem and the story behind it (sorry it's so long):

The car stalls. Normally, it will stall when slowing to take corners or after stopped to make a left, although it has stalled when traveling straight at about 35 mph. The car gives no warning that it's about to die, I just notice there's no power or steering and all the dash lights are on. Sometimes, the car will start right back up. Last week, I stopped at the store before work, came back out and tried to start the car but it wouldn't. I tried periodically for an hour and a half, no joy. I thought, well... whatever's ailing finally kicked the bucket. I called my mechanic who came out with the tow truck. He tried to start it and didn't succeed. They tow the car back to the shop and got ready to work on it. They try to start it one more time and it cranked right up. I told them to keep and drive the car and try to recreate the problem. They had it for 4 days and could never break it. I asked them to check the Fuel Pump Relay, which they said was fine. I finally said screw it and picked it up. No problem for 2 days. Then, on Thanksgiving, it died while going about 35 down the road. It wouldn't start again. It sat for an entire week with me trying to start it about 5 different times (didn't want to pay another towing and diagnostics charge for nothing). Never worked. Yesterday I decided to go ahead and get towed to the shop. I went to check on it and it started right up. This is absolutely driving me crazy. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!
