stalling 850 model

Can someone help me. I have a 95, 850 model that keeps stalling when I am driving. This is driving me crazy as I have taken it in to the dealship and they tell me nothing is wrong. I drive around two small children and am ready to bring the car to the yard. Which is a shame, because i love this car. All i can tell you, is that it stalls every couple of weeks or so, while driving around 40 - 60 km, all the lights on the dash turns on and the engine cuts out. I barely make it to the side of the road. Sometime, it stalls when i start it. I wait 50 secs and it starts again. any advice from anybody at all

    It is about time to replace your fuel pump relay if it is original. #103 under the fuse tray in the engine compartment.

    ma'am,

    The problem could range from anything easy like a loose ground wire, to something much more like a bad ecu. these cars have camshaft posistion sensors go bad, air mass meters, ignition modules, ecus.. or it could be corrosion on a connection, a bad ignition switch(where your key goes into, you dont have a heavy keychain do you?). please dont scrap the car, and try to further describe the problem. does the tach bounce when it cranks? does it happen when its wet out?

    but finally i would like to state that this forum(performance) was probably not the correct forum to post in. you should probably repost this in FWD. you will get more responses.
