j-dog, I agree with Peter, your stalling problem does sound like a ground problem. He is right, make sure the ground strap from the block to the frame is intact and attached. You had better not stop there, because you may have a number of subtle performance problems caused by electrical faults. Remember, this is a 20-year old car. This will sound bogus, but it should work: clean EVERY miserable electrical contact you can find, starting with the fuses. Take every connector apart and clean the contacts with emery cloth or a nail-file stick. Also consider replacing your battery cables with new stock ones that have soldered connectors (they are cheap - order from Maximillian Importing). The negative cable bolts to a lug on the battery tray. If your tray is rusted, you may need to connect the negative to somewhere else where you are sure you get good current. Or, add an extra ground strap from the bolt on the battery tray to somewhere else on the frame. Sand the battery posts. A few hours one afternoon and a six-pack should do it.
