Help? My 86 900 Turbo 5 speed (205K) has been stalling at all speeds lately. (in the last month) once it stalls, it will not push start -- BUT, would immediately key start. Today it would not immediately key start, after starting and immediately dying when gas was given like 3 times. It seems to start when given a little chance to cool down to nearly out of the green I always drive with my lights on. Tonight, driving along with my fingers crossed, I turned my lights off and on to remind a driver that he needed some lights, and my engine died. Got back to the parking lot and tried again -- sure enough, start car with lights on, turn lights off and engine quits. Furthermore, engine will not start without lights on. within the last year, the Air mass flow meter was replaced. within the last month, I: rewired the APC Solenoid reinsulated another (unidentified) grey 2-wire junction near front of int. man. replaced leaky turbo bypass valve (Vacuum A-OK, now.) replaced Fuel pressure regulator. HELP! please. Rolf
