http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=177616

Which part(s) have you replaced and why??

- OVP, because there was no CEL, broken speedometer and ABS light was on. ABS was not functional at the time of the stall as well.

Do you do any other maintance to the car at same time??

-Installed K&N air filter. Don't think it is at all related.

How long since you fixe-it?

OVP is a dodgy piece of equipment that should definitely be reinvented so this kind of embarrassment can be avoided. I stalled in front of another W202 and he honked at me....
