Just a tad bit of punctuality, is that too much to ask?

Maybe a complete sentence?

I am just flummoxed by the amount of effort you put into this question.

I really would love to help, but I think I'll leave this one to DanH, he's a but more subtle than I when something irks him.

I might be all wet here, but it seems when you turn something on like lights it stalls.

Could that liitle bit of current draw cuase the problem?

Could be a short somewhere also.

A bad ground from the battery,alternator and voltage regulator should be looked at also.

My car sat in a heated garage untouched for 34 years and the mice got to my one door panel and so far I haven't noticed any wiring problems so far.

Wire problems for me are the worst!

Have a good day and I hoped I helped a little.

How is it that a Generation makes a difference. this last sentence is a fantastic example that America is not dying as I previously thought and that our schools are working~ Thanks for the extra effort.

Now abotu your car. You have a wiring issue like Locksmitty said, Current draw on the ignition Coil + wire.

Under your hood there is a red wire with a blue stripe feeding your coil + wire, soon after it enters the wiring loom it is fused with a Resistor wire that is pink. That pink wire goes to your ignition switch.

If any wire is joined into that pink wire or the one on the coil under the hood the engine will die if there is a drain on that wire.

Also there is likely a Vacuum leak on your engine as well.

I hope that helps in some small way.

I give a LOT of effort to help folks here, and all I ask in return is some proper grammar like what is taught in our schools, and if you blame where you grew up for your inattention to the details taught in class, then I must feel sorry for the future of our country.
