Its a 3.1 - the check engine light has not been coming on, well at least it didn't this morning 
The car was running real well up until it stalled - the rpm's literally just dropped and she quit.

not too bad for a '91, is it the 3100 or is it the 3.1 look at the intake manifold... 3100 is alot better of a motor than the 3.1, granted they are the same displacement.... good luck with it....
any other problems with it let me know, if i dont know ur answer i know my dad will....

u said u were around a corner? were u on the gas or just letting it idle cause u were on the brake?

Now I don't know if it makes a diff or not, but the car hasn't really been driven since last year (don't drive her in the winter anymore!). For most of my drive this morning I was going at 100 to 110 km/h. Just before coming to the bridge (that has the toll booths), the speed limit drops to 90, then down to 70 and then to 50.

wassup BB? No vegas huh.. 
If it's the TPS, the car will usually create a surge in itself at around 30-40 mph. That is the average speed, and that's where the TPS will wear the slide out first. Usually the TPS will knock a o2 code or a TPS code.
MassIArflow sensor or Map sensor will usually cause the car to smoke a hint of black at idle.
I really don't think either one of those is the prob. Probably, if any sensor is bad, if it's a sensor issue, and it's running in open loop, It would be the IAC, if it stalled standing still. The IAX ius one of the feww sensors that can cause a loss of RPM at idle in open loop, and not knock a code. YOu can pull codes out of the ECM with out a tool
OOOHHHHH,,, and change the fuel filter!! lol lol

We're gonna give the car a going over tonight.........if I have to I'll call my 'after hours' mechanics! Gotta love friends!!
If you think the fuel filter is bad - I won't even tell ya what the tranny fluid looked like when I had it flushed!!!!! Not good.....
