Car stalls when you come to a stop after driving continously for 30 or more min. & if you start it back up engine will run in nutural, but stall when shifted to drive. So to go have to stick in drive & gun the engine & will usally stop stalling after the next time I stop. Taken it to 3 mechanics over last 2 yrs. & no one has been able to figure out the problem. I believe it is a electrical problem. When it stalls engine will run in nutural, park & reverse.
