the clusters are wonky but won't stall a car, replaced a few of those and 140s just 'cuz they act weird or go dead. a bad ignition switch can cause both stalling and cluster weirdness. given that i've replaced more sensors than ignition switches for stalling on those cars, i'd test that first.

you may have 2 or 3 problems, gotta wait for a real failure or test, test, test.

good luck, chuck.
