Great, I'll do some searching on the coolant sensor testing.

As for the MAF cleaner, Autozone didn't have it, but Napa did. The company is CRC I beleive. I was planning on using electronics cleaner, which leaves no residue, but this cleaner states it is for MAS cleaning. I figure better safe than ...

I havn't checked the coolant temp sensor. Is there a way to diagnose that? I wish the car would throw me some error codes, it keeps coming up clean. Is the thermostat really $6 ? Where did you get it that cheap?

I did buy some mass airflow sensor cleaner, and willl try that this weekend. With all ...

I also looked to see if it was temperature related, but the engine temp always reads normal during the stalls. My issue is getting worse, it used to take 15 to 20 minutes to stall, now it will stall in under 2 minutes. Instead of driving it and getting stranded, I let the car idle in the driveway ...

Is it possible that fouled spark plugs could cause stalling issues? The current plugs are only 15k miles old, is it worth pulling them and taking a look? I'm guessing one to two fouled plugs would cause misfires not a sudden engine shutdown.

I'm at 118k milses now. The fuel filter was replaced at 93k, and a new distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs were installed at 103k. Again, this was all done by the first owner, I've only owned the car since 109k.

I am a little interested in that the previous owner brought the car in for service ...

another 850 having stalling issues

Well, my 1994 850, 5cyl non-turbo with 118k miles is having similar stalling issues. I have read every post on the 21 pages, and have tried many of the suggested fixes to no avail. Some of the more expensive fixes are still on the plate. Here's the history of the problem.

First stall: Back in ...
