The Intrepid will stall during city driving, like stopping at a light. This
usually occurs when the engine is warmed up. No 'check engine' light to
give me some code. It just stalls, but will start up right away when I turn
the ignition on.

I wondering if there a loose ground strap or wire. I checked whatever I
could see. The strap look thin.

Anyone experience this problem?

The more information you can give the more results you will get back such as
what engine size this vehicle has. You could be having a cam or crank sensor
problem. A scan tool connected while the problem is occurring will locate
the problem. a ground strap is not your problem

If there was a fault that a scan tool could read, would you get the check
engine light? And when it does happen, it's while your driving, so how do I
hook up the scan tool at an intersection.

You do like we do, you drive the vehicle with a scan tool connected and hope
that it fails so you can see what is going on. If that doesn't occur on a
test drive you will have to connect a co-pilot to the vehicle and have the
owner drive it. when the problem occurs a button is pushed and it snaps a
picture of what the engine controller was doing and all sensor values at the
time. A fault code does not have to be set for something like this. That's
why intermittent problems are so hard to find.
