[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 960812, member: 52972"] Andy, It sounds like the IAC may be causeing the stalling problem, but it could be electrical? I do know from many years ago, that a vehicle that frequently burns out a lot of light bulbs (like tail lights and license plate lights) usually has a problem with the voltage regulator (internal to the Alternator). A simple voltage test can show if the alternator is putting out too much voltage. This might be a heat related malfunction where a component in the alternator fails only when it gets hot? With todays vehicles relying on solid state electronics and very precise voltages, too much voltage may be causing the ignition or computer to shut down...as well as burning out light bulbs. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
