Re: fiero stalls

How old is your battery? It sounds like you may have a cell going bad. Nasty, corroded connections at the battery or power distribution block (mounted on the right inside quarter, in the engine compartment) May be a contributing factor as well. Find a shop that offers free charging system checks and you'll probably find out what's doing it to you. To save a few bucks, you can take the free results home and make the repair yourself.

Check all your battery cables to make sure they are tight and not corroded. The ends that hook to the battery are especially prone to corrosion since they are exposed to the weather.

Re: fiero stalls

Make sure you have good battery ground. If the battery is getting discharged, you may have a small drain somewhere in the electrical system. A PITA to locate. If the car just dies, you may have ignition problems. This could be the coil or ignition module. Both of these items have a bad habit of dieing, then cool down and then restart. If those parts are original, you may want to replace them and/or replace the entire distributor.
