My 1990 C2 has suffered from a stalling problem on-and-off for about
three years now. It sometimes stalls immediately after putting it in
gear after starting and sometimes when slowing to stop for a light,
etc. I've fixed the problem temporarily in the past with a new DME
relay but the last one I put in didn't help. Any ideas?

What sort of flywheel do you have? Is it a lightened one?

I don't know. However, the flywheel in it now was installed 10 years
and 35,000 miles ago and the problem didn't start until 5 years and
12,000 miles ago.

Ok, then. I know that this type of issue can manifest itself when
installing an lightened flywheel, but if that has not changed I do not
know the answer. I would suggest checking out the forums at rennlist,
pelican or pca. Let us know what you find.

Good luck!
