Thanks. The plugs were changed about 2 weeks ago- the problem remains. I have engaged the gears with the brake released and it does not stall as often then, *IF* the car is already going that direction - putting less strain on the engine when placed in gear. Such as if I head downhill and put it in drive, it will not stall, but if I am facing uphill, it will stall or visa-versa.
Not sure when the plug wires or distributor was replaced.
I may take it to the shop soon to see if a vac leak can be detected, because it is getting old having to park in a space where I will only have to shift once (into drive) instead of backing out, then forward again. Lessens the chance of stalling.
