Car Stalls Out

Post by denzel »

Please help!!!! I have taken my car to numerous mechanics and dealers and NO one can help with the problem. I believe they think I am making it up.

The car stalls out completely but only after I have driven it for a long distance, let's say 30 to 45 minutes and only when I go to take an exit off of the highway. As soon as I press on the brake and then the clutch it will just stop. It will start right back up and proceed as if nothing happened. Awhile back I had the distributor replaced. I have been told it is the clutch and then it is not the clutch. I have also been told the only way to determine what the problem is, is for the problem to happen while they have the car hooked up to a diagnostic machine. Can any one help me? I have had this car for 12 years and would like to keep it a while longer...this is the only problem I have had with it in all this time. Thanks
