PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED.
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL STALL, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. I CAN BE ON A CITY STREET ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST TIME THE ROTOR WAS REPLACED, MY MACHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, EVENTUALLY HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROTOR AND HE REPLACED IT ON 3/1/97. ON 11/29/97, WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN ANOTHER STATE THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND HE HAD THE ROTOR REPLACED AGAIN. I CONTACT THE FIRST MACHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ROTOR & HE DOESN'T THINK IT IS REALLY THE ROTOR, BUT HE CAN'T FIND THE REASON IT KEEPS HAPPENING. NOW, 1/11/98, THE CAR IS STARTING TO STALL AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT STALL FOR NO REASON WITHOUT ANY WARNING. PLEASE HELP.
FUEL PUMP REPLACED.
