So, I thought everything was wonderful, my payback for a life well led. Having changed my idle control valve, it had not happened in about a weeks. But this PM, it's back, while waiting at a stoplight, having just started the car after leaving it for 45 minutes in a parking lot. Car stalled in gear 3 times in a row at the same light. The rest of the drive was uneventful, although the idle speed was about 500.

It is interesting that the crankshaft position sensor is mentioned, as I recently had to change a failed ignition control module for a new (used) one. I will check the plug on the ICM to make sure the sensor is plugged in well.

I will look now at the OVP as the next culprit.

Will keep y'all posted as to outcome.
