Re: car keeps stalling
Does the CEL light come on? If it's a 92-95 you can check the codes using the instructions in the How To documents. If it's a 96-97 Autozone or Advance Auto will check the codes for free.
Does it usually start right back up?? First guess without any other info is a bad MAF.

Re: car keeps stalling
mine is a 92 and when it stalls all the lights turn on the dash. and recently when it would stall out i would take the terminal off the battery so everything resets and it runs good for a whiile and then out of no where i cant gas it anymore and i lose my power steering

Check fuel pump/ground. When all the lights come on and the car stalls that to me means timing belt/power steering belt failure. It's happened to my 94 twice. |

Re: car keeps stalling
You lose your PS and all the dash lights come on because the engine stops.
If you can, leave the battery connected so the ECU will store some codes. Then after it happens check for stored codes and let us know what you get. If the timing belt went, you wouldn't be able to start it up again untill the belts were replaced...
