Car stalls intermittently. Dealer replaced plug wires, cap & rotor, fuel & air filters, and fuel pump. Typically doesn't present computer failure codes. Quits at highway speed, in city traffic, when cold or warm. Sometimes restarts immediately, often won't start for hours, or until next day. Dealer is out of suggestions, and I'm at wit's end.
