1993 850 GLT Stalling

Hi: I'll be driving along (manual transmission) and I come to a stop at a light or stop sign, and the car will shudder, dash lights come on, sometimes it recovers and sometimes it stalls. I live in San Francisco, so it's not cold. Any ideas or is she just old?

    Too many possiblilities to mention:
    low oil
    bad gas
    clogged fuel filter
    fuel pump going out
    bad ignition wires
    shot spark plugs
    hose or elbow leak(s)
    ignition switch issue
    and many more. I hope you find the answer, but if youre car hasn't had a tune up in awhile I'd tackle the plugs and wires first. If over 100K miles, the fuel filter too.

    Good luck.

      Thanks for your reply. It may be the oil which, when I checked it, was very low. No oil leakage in the garage but a lot of city driving. I'll have to check it more often--thought these beasts had a light that came on to advise of low oil, but then I should know better than to rely on a light. What kills me, is that I put two quarts in it for $14.00, what a rip off-but it was low enough I didn't want to take any chances. We'll see if that works.

      Thanks again. . .
