I knew there was a reason that I scour this site regularly. My wife's 9000s died twice on her in the last 2 days, once in a parking lot, and once at 45MPH. Wouldn't re-start for 10 minutes either time. Normally it runs extremely well. Since it was no longer reliable, I took it to my indy who proclaimed fuel pump, possibly filter, but at the end of the day he hadn't done bupkis, saying he didn't see a problem and wasn't going to put in parts on spec. I was a bit miffed that he had done nothing, but in retrospect, owe him an apology for being curt. I read John N's query about stalling and it fit my problem to a tee. I read Quasi's thingy about the "big round connector" and sure enough, it was corroded. Cleaned it with the wife's toothbrush (it is her car after all) and some contact cleaner. When I started it I thought it sounded funny. I finally realized that I've never heard it purr before. It always idled well, but never like this. Out on the highway for a long blast and "voila", it seems fixed. I figure I saved about 600 bucks in unnecessary repairs. I'll put the money into air conditioning. Thanks again, John for the question, and Quasi for the answer. Love this site. Since (according to my family) I seem to be obsessing over the car, its nice to be able to share with others in the same boat.
