1994 Caprice Classic LS 4.3l Stalls when Driving!
I got this car....well..
At first it would die when idling for about 4-5 minutes....So
we changed the fuel filter, now it idles with no problems.
But for some reason (No particular amount of time) the car would shimmer
and then like no power (Even when I hit the gas, Nothing) then the dash
lights would come on (Flashing)... then the car would choke and stall out
(Die). But after letting it sit for 1-2 minutes it would start up and drive just
fine again. UNTIL it happens again at odd-ball times.
I have checked / replaced:
Spark Plugs
Wires
Fuel Filter
Thermostat
Coolant temp sensor (one on the Water Pump)
I'm buying a book for this car tomorrow (9-13-2012) so I have a more detail
idea on this car.
but I'm Stumped since the car Idles fine, and starts with no problems, until
the incident happens again.
Any Help would be greatly helpful.

Well I did everything I can to find the problem... no avail.
I did notice something that I forgot to state before...
I Noticed that when I would push on the brakes the "voltage gauge"... would
drop, and the car would bog down like similar to cutting out, then the engine
would pick backup or I would have to let off the brake and repress it to fix
the Issue (Like hesitation in the engine).
Anyways I hope with will help in figuring out the whole problem....any info
would help.
