The car stops sometimes. Usually after starting it stalls. With some gas, starts again and runs fine. Happens a few times in the last month. None of the indicator lights (engine) light up on the panel sggesting anything is wrong in the engine. I have not doen a tune since 40k miles. The mechanic suggested, oil filter, transmission fluid change, spark plugs, air filter and pcv vlave change (all for @240 in Valencia, CA). He also suggested distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires and fuel injection servicing (for another $240). Should i do it. Which one's are needed. Thnk you.

Hi desichemist,

The first 240 would be well spent but not the second.

Since the engine is stalling, I would suggest cleaning up the throttle boby and checking the main relay.
