grand marquis 2001 engine stalls

[elsiesocool]

We have a 2001 grand marquis that stalls while running. The temperature light on the dash turns on, check engine light also turns on and the car stalls. I put the car on neutral and restart it, runs well for a while and does the same thing over and over. The car has been scanned but nothing comes up. What can it be?

Here is some information for you. Believe it or not, the Coil on Plug ignition system can cause this problem. Here is an OASIS report on the issue. I was going to post the TSB, but it is very long and has lots of charts that may not show. So I have highlighted the TSB in red for you. Hope this helps.
