Re: stalling (archive)

Sounds like another case of the classic bad ground problem. Check for or replace the existing ground cable. There is one at the bottom of the engine bay attaching engine block to chassis.

please help, my car stalls out sometimes and when it does this my gas gauge goes wacky, bouncing all over the place. then i stop becuase my car isnt running anymore, i try to start it again and it starts and then stalls immediately. then i wat a few minutes and it starts fine and is fine again......at least for a while, sometimes it happens a few times a day and sometimes not for a week. what is this?
