Hi Don,

I'm not yet convinced you have an ignition problem, especially since they are so rare (compared to the fuel side).

If/when it stalls again, look at the panel to see if the usual warning lights are on (assuming the Key is still on). If those normal panel lights are off,and the fuel and temp gauges are dead, suspect Fuse 13 and it's contacts, which also powers the Fuel relay coil.

It wouldn't hurt to give fuse 7 some TLC too.

When K-jet fuel pressure drops below about 47psi, the stalling is as sudden a total ignition failure. And more common in my experience.
