I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPS EXCEEDS 85 DEGREES AND THE A/C IS ON. THE PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER TAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE CLUCH IS DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE IS ALLOWED TO IDLE. THE ENGINE INTERMITTENLY WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL. THIS CAUSES A PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A DAY WHEN TEMPS ARE OVER 85. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 1997. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR 4 TIMES AND HAS TRIED FIXING THE A/C TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THE I NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN WHILE IT IS STALLING?
