Hello again, Yea, in response to replacing the relay. This coming friday will be three weeks since the relay replacement and NO ISSUES whatsoever! Have you tried the official MVS stalling thread? If not, then, I would really suggest that you read it. I must tell you that it is quite long but worth the reading. I wish I would have found this site before I put $$$ into things that did not fix the stalling. With the research I did on this site and help from MadeinJapan and Ozarklee and some other friendly MVS members I narrowed it down to throttle body cleaning and the fuel pump relay. Naturally, I tried the throttle cleaning first as its the cheaper fix (just some throttle body cleaner and about an hour and a half of labor on my part. After this the car ran ok for a couple days but then the stalling came back so then I ordered the relay. I have found some good sites that are less expensive for most things than FCP Groton. europartsdirect.com and eeuroparts.com and autowarehouse.com as well as some others. prices vary and being the miser that I am I want bang for the buck. Example: idle air control valve at one plase is like $300 some odd dollars and then I find one for about $166.00 on one of the mentioned sites. I have got more I could tell you but dont know what you need yet. Any more questions please feel free to let me know. I also have the late '94 850 NA wagon. once again good luck......Jason
