Wow this problem is getting really bad. I'm posting on the roadside with my cellphone while letting the engine cool down because I seriously cannot idle in traffic at all.

When I am driving on the freeway, it is fine, engine temp never runs above 80c. Once I hit traffic my engine temps go slightly above 80c, and car immediately stalls and I cannot get far.

Sometimes when I am cruising after I have stopped in traffic for a while, engine still slighly hot, car will stall while I am going 40mph or so, but after a few secs, launches a huge backfire, starts again for 2 secs, but dies immediately.

i tried replacing the OVP this morning, but that obviously didnt do anthing. I will have updates next week when I get to drive it after swapping the crankshaft position sensor.
