While I'm driving and and while my AC is on - and/or downshift to come to a stop or slow down - my car dies. I've hooked it up to get the codes but doesn't show anything. I've already cleaned my O2 sensors, IAC, and MAF. There's seems to be no leak and I just can't figure it out.

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing that to happen? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! [patriot]

What kind of gas are you using? That used to happen to my cousins car when he used Safeway gas LOL!

could be a clogged filter. My brothers 89 420sel benz would shut off WHILE driving. hella times, different situations each time. Turned out fuel filter was clogged and the pump was on its last leg. [patriot]

does only the motor die or do you lose electrical too?

Im gonna sound dumb but can you explain to me the relationship between while AC is running (then car stalling) and the fuel filter.. I'm learning new things as I'm fixing my car.. sucks!!

i just had a thought - if your loosing electrical too - have u checked the alternator?
when als are going out - your car runs off your battery - running the a/c will suck power also causing the shut offs.
