My 92 Jag XJ6 vandenplas stalls after breaking at traffic lights and intersections. No problem in starting it again. Jaguar dealer diagnosed it as an electrical short and had it fixed. After a few weeks it stalled again. A friend sad it could be the idle valve.
I am not sure now who is right. Could you kindly help me on this?
Thank you.

If the lights dim upon braking and appears to just die? It could be a bad alternator, especially if the car needs to be jumped sometimes. This is due to a short in the alternator or busted diode. changing the alternator is kinda tricky to get to but very possible to do yourself for less than 100.

First and foremost I would demand the dealer to access the situation since I assume you paid them to fix the problem. This sounds like an electronic issue between the transmission and the idle switch. When you brake with an auto transmission it downshifts thus adjusting the rpms to compensate. If this is malfunctioning it could very well stall it..
