Car stalled - is there a problem on the way?

1994, 3-cyl, 104,000 miles, 1.0 liter. Automatic. - NO Check Engine lights.

Recent repairs (in rough chronological order):cap, rotor, plugs - water pump - timing belt - spark plug wires - cleaned out PVC valve and replaced gasket.

I use my car for a morning paper route daily. It's been running great for the past 3 or 4 weeks. This morning as I pulled up to one delivery tube - it just died. It started back up very easily and didn't die again.

Is there anything I should check? Is this a sign that some problem might be on the horizon?

Thanks:iceslolan

I don't know, mine did that too, just once. Hasn't happened again and car is running just fine.

+5 for vehicle description and service history and clear statement of problem, thank you!

Unfortuneately I can't think to say much to help you. Its probably a loose or corroding wire or connector. These kinds of one-off flukes are the most difficult and sometimes impossible to diagnose until it gets worse and starts happening more frequently. :frown:

Check and clean your battery connections.

Check all of your grounds. There are some on the lower back side of the TB. Also some on the firewall.

Could also be a fuel pump about to go out. Sometimes they will do that.
