The '96 960 has the Motronic 4.4 OBD-II compliant system with one coolant sensor located in the thermostat housing. (Is your thermostat working correctly? It should come quicly to mid scale in less than a mile or two of driving.)
The stalling may be related to the leaking head gasket. How was the head gasket diagnosed? What are it's symptoms? Leaking into the oil, blowing coolant from the tank, leaking on the ground?
Many issues like this end up being vacuum leaks but they should have been located with the work you have paid for by now.
Can you describe the stall process more for us. Does it just quit as if the ignition was shut off or does it die slowly as if funning out of gas? Or...
does it slow down as if the throttle was being closed too much and it just doesn't get enough air/fuel to run???????????????
My usual attitude is that by now the car probably owes you nothing and you get a good running car with a known history if you fix it. (Another used car will have some number of unknown issues for you to start on again.) As long as the body is solid and you like the car when its working correctly, fix-it!
