SO WHEN ENGINE STALLS DO HIGH LAMPS DIM OR GO DEAD?
TOO>?
Can you stop or delay the stall with a fast right foot action?
the time to diagnose it as at the stall.
not after the few minutes, later, you can not fix later as it is not broken yet.
can be caused by 50 things
but on macro mode.
bad engine
bad spark
bad fueling ,be it too little or too much.
when parked and dead does WOT cranking make it start and run/
wot= wide open throttle.
or dead engine crank it with 5% (a tad) throttle) start now, when dead./?
running 27 year old spark, plugs, wire sets ,distrib cap and rotor?
OLD PLUGS NEED NOT BE HERE, AND NEW GAPPED CORRECTLY
TRY NKG PLUGS,OEM SPEC TYPE.

AT ENGINE DEAD?
PER SERVICE MANUAL WAY (JUMPER WIRE TO DLC)
sounds to be symptomatic of a CTS (coolant temperature sensor). there are two, one is for the interior temp gauge, the other is for the ECU/PCM while both are basicalty the same part, often even the same P/N, they both do extremely different things.
It would be worth checking/replacing the ignition module ( see if you have a spark when it WON'T start) . Coil assy are plentiful and the most likely given your description. Very prone to over heating and shutting down. Good luck
Lookfor a light on the dash that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT. If you see this light, that is a sign of a failed or failing antitheft system, which will disable your vehicle. This link explains
Had the same problem with mine. Check and clean your throttle body, as well as all hoses leading from you air filter all the way to the engine. Took a bottle of carb cleaner, a rag, and some q-tips.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
Alternator died or no gas.
