Did you get any TCS light when you stalled? > Thanks I will not blame the cruise control until many further tests. Just noticed the two times it happened the cruise control was on. Next time I will turn it off and see if it comes back. TCS light is on permanently. Previous two owners (seller knows previous owner) replaced everything in the TCS. Light will not go out but everything works. I hear if TCS is bad, it goes into limp home mode. This car is definately not in that mode! A friend of mine as a 900 SPG which has the airbag light on and they could never get it fixed so he has a piece of tape over it. Charles.
