Well recently with the cold weather I've been having a stalling problem at night. Although I've owned the car for 10+ yrs I've never had this problem before. But here is the only difference, recently I added the fender mounted side markers and converted the old style headlights over to higher wattage nonsealed beams (absolutey love them).

Over the last couple of weeks I've had this problem. Driving along and out of no where the engine stalls and the check engine light comes on. Pull over to the side of the road throw it in P start her back up and it's fine. I must add normally when this happens I have all the following on; headlights, stereo, heater and heated seats. Turn it back on and it's 98% fine, but the engine hesitates a little (minimal can't really notice it) and the check engine light stays on.

Well today I checked for bad or loose connections through out the whole car. Changed spak plugs, cap, wire, rotor etc.

Just coming home and it did it again. I was wondering if anyone has had a similiar problem or can give some insight. I'm guesstimaing that with the added accesories the voltage regulator may be overloaded. IPD sells an adjustable unit, but before I went and bought something I didn't need I was hoping for some help.

Thanks Carl

I cannot think why a voltage regulator could cause this. If the voltage regulator was not working correctly and the car was stalling it would be from low voltage, which I doubt is the problem since you would notice the lights dimming, and unlikely the car would restart.

I really can't understand why anyone would want that adjustable regulator...the Bosch alternators will put out 80-100 amps, and I'm sure theur regulators will pass that current.

It could be a bad electrical connection related to your mods, although it seems to me it would have to be a short..which you should notice as flickering lights.

Maybe the cold has something to do with fuel icing?
