    Car is 740, year 1990 station wagon:
    Motor (2.3 L) stalls when driving. Can happen when motor is warm or cold,
    driving slow or fast. "Check enging" light comes on. Starts up again without
    any problem. This has happened about 5-6 times during the last month. Seems
    to be some intermittent problem. Took it to dealer. The check engine light
    is still on. Dealer says that when computer is checked, states that engine
    light came on because of load sensor signal or speed (speedometer? ) input
    signal. Cannot repair it because signals are all OK now. Cold be problem w
    computer, load sensor, some loose wire, or whatever. Told me to come back
    when it cannot be started, because then they can diagnose it and see what is
    wrong. Has anyone experienced similar problem???? Cannot take car far from
    home, because never knows when it will act up again.
