My wife's '96 Sport 4.0 4WD automatic will intermittently stall, evidently because the idle speed does not stay high enough to keep the engine lit. It will re-start readily, and will stay running if I open the throttle a little. I have not noticed any association with engine temperature or humidity. This past weekend, the engine quit multiple times while descending the road to Black Rock Mountain State Park; it's steep, narrow, and crooked -- an "interesting" place to lose power steering.
So far, I'm just throwing parts at it:
> plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor
> throttle position sensor
> idle air control valve
Before I bite the bullet and take it to someone with serious diagnostic equipment, what's your suggestion/guess? Has anyone else seen this problem?
