Stalling - 1/29/2007 12:19:32 PM    94 ES 3.3   Posts: 8 Joined: 1/29/2007 Status: offline Hi, I hope someone can help.  My 94 Intrepid ES with the 3.3 is stalling when I slow down.  It is especially frustrating when turning or needing to stop in a hurry!  It will fire back up when I put it in Neutral an turn the key.  I do not get a check engine light, though sometimes the "cruise" light does come on (I haven't used the cruise control in years!).  Because of no light, I don't want to take the car to a dealer (can you say "Blank Check?").  It seems to accelerate fine and run smooth in traffic.  It'll idle forever too, until I move the car and try to stop.  Then it will die.  Oh, yeah, the light works, it turns on when the key is first turned on before ignition.  I've changed the fuel filter, the plugs and the wires.  I get a good spark when I pull each wire from the plug.  I runs the same whether a wire is pulled or not.  It does idle a little rough.  The car has 130 some thousand miles on it.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
