My 1986 Camry just stalled while driving with no warning. Restarts and runs for 3-5 minutes and then then stalls again. Just before it stalls I hear a rather pronounce click (only one click each time) sound right behind the glove box, the idle speed drops and then it stalls.
No problem until today, however I did have the following routine maintance done today by a shop:
Oil change,
Coolant flush/replacement
Replaced Drive Belts
Replaced Air Filter
Bolted on Snow Tires
It seems suspicious that this stalling happened 15 miles of driving after this maintance was done, but I cant in my mind connect any of the above to this problem, unless the mechanic knocked something (wire) loose. Problem is it is the evening before Thanksgiving so I will not be able to have them look at it until Friday.
Any ideas?

Just a WAG, but it sounds like a relay or breaker is kicking off, thus cutting power to the ingnition or the fuel pump. I'm not familiar with your vehicle but my "93 has two relay boxes in that area near the glove box. You might want look under the hood in the immediate vicinity of the replace components and check for damaged wires. As you noted, the problem may be coincidental or directly related to the work done. A good look see can't hurt before you proceed further.
