Re: Car dies out

The EGR should only have an effect at idle speed, not when you are accelerating.

If you gradually lean in to the throttle do you notice anything abnormal such as a hesitation or stumble? How long do you have to leave the car sit before restarting? Have you checked for pending diagnostic codes? Do you have a scan tool with a datastream mode? It would be interesting to monitor the short term fuel trims and the engine coolant temperature sensor just prior to the stall.
