Re: 88 lesabre 3.8 liter

More than likely, you have a bad crank position sensor. The cam sensor will not cause a stall. The other two codes, could have been codes set when the engine cut off. BTW, you do not need an OBD1 scanner on this car. All you have to do is jump terminals A&B on the ALDL terminal to get the codes. Do a search for more precise instructions.
