we performed overhaul on my caprice,we change all overhauling kit,we put sleeve,we replace pistons,piston ring,valves,we refaced cylinder heads,but when we start and run the engine,drive and use it about a week,the trouble appears,sometimes the engine stall when the temperature reach before 1/2 of the gauge,sometimes when you shift the gear,when you turn on the aircon ditioning,when you make a turn,but mostly when the engine temperature reach that level........hope for your kind and respectful professional response,thank you and more power to your site.

check your ignition timing.

ignition module and coil.

if those are good check to see if your exhaust system is plugged up causing it to stall out
