Hey Doug...

Those cars had there own little stall diagnosis book that came out when they were new(lots of problems)...I would like for you to unplug the mass air flow sensor and see what the car does. another part that was known to fail on these cars is the crank sensor but that usually is a hot engine stall and the car wont restart....

Let me know...

Cly,

I have the same problem as Doug with the same year and manufacture, but mine falls under the hot engine stall and after a few minutes the engine will restart only to stall at a later time (Buick Roulette). No stutter just stalls. Any idea would help.
