Default Help the new guy out with stalling (problem fixed )

Hello all .[/align]I am new and this is my 1st post. I am the original owner of a 1996 850 turbo wagon with 183000 miles, the car has been good to usfor all these years and now I would like to let may daughter have it now. the wagon look like new and Ihave done a lot of the maintenancemyself and a lot of the extra stuff like the seat back cables.[/align]My problem isthe car will randomly stop running but will start right back up again. I took it to the shop and they could not fix it. I have replaced the fuel filter , relay,fuel pump,cam sensor ,speed sensor, and maf sensor. There has been NO code and the check eng light is not on. this is driving me craze and I am spending every W/E on it. Any help ? Mike[/align]

Did you check the injector relay and wiring by the radiator?
It is like by the fan relay but more on the drivers side.

The rubber insulation holding the terminals in the plug fall apart allowing the wires to become loose.
One easy way to try to test is to lean on the cover the relay is in and see if the car stalls.

Or slide the relay out and check the wires.

The relay itself might be bad since the wires are still good.
