Hi PeterT Still doing it eh? Hmm, Peter this needs to be closely monitored. When you go out and fire it up just turn the ignition in the "On" position and "carefully" observe what lights come on in the Instrument Cluster. When the stall happens and the lights come back on as you ...

Hi Dv $60.00?? Do Tell please, maybe I can get something up here in after market for it. I haven't found anything yet though, and I'm not spending that kind of money ($200.00 +) on something that's been proven time again to be faulty. I will continue with what I mentioned above if I can't find anyth...

Hi Zam Hopefully this will finish up the above procedure you asked about. You can edit it if you feel it needs to be. 9. Remove the pulley with a power steering pump puller tool. 10. Disconnect and cap pressure and return lines from the pump. Have a suitable catch pan under the pump. 11. Remove pump...

I would sooner take a bullet than to go through that again (Replacing P/S Pump). That's a brutal job (It was for me anyways) Must have been an easier way which I over looked, almost 4 hours from start to finish, the hardest part was putting the pulley back on the new pump, the "Anemic" pul...

Hi stephanieASTRO Hmmm, Just an Off the wall thought If everything has been checked from above and is in good shape, is to have a look at your Coil. How old is it by the way? If you have a weak Coil it will give off alot of problems that your not aware of, these coils usually don't just quit, they g...

Hi stephanieASTRO Yeh that's right out the window steph. You shouldn't have any problems finding that one. Definitely check for Vacuum Leaks and also check the IAC as well. If your timing is off, that can contribute to some of it but not all of that. It "could" be a combination of things l...

Thanks DV Mine are very bad at the moment. I will be taking it into the shop this Friday to repair them and your suggestion and illustration really helped me to decide which way to go. I will be replacing both rubber lines, but will be incorporating your ideas about the hose clamps and removing the ...

Hi PeterT
Hmm, that's definetly a "Hard Stall", Fuel or Electrical would be my first thought (Maybe in the HT section IE: Module, Coil or maybe even ignition switch). Does this problem happen in both Cold and Hot phases of the motor? Or just in the Hot (Warmed up) Phase?
