MY 93 JAGUAR XJ6 STALLS AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE CARS STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN CORNERS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. THE TRANSMISSON LIGHT COMES ON AFTER STALLING, BUT GOES OFF AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND CAR STARTS BACK UP. ALSO THE ANTI LOCK FLASHES ON AND OFF.
