Not knowing how to drive a standard car properly can do it.

- This one is automatic, although I have tried standard(a friends car)- and stalled it two times lol. It's fun trying to drive a standard, but I like automatic better :)

Usually turning left into a lake would do it. River as well. Tires get slippery when wet.

I think you use power when you turn the wheel causing something else to stall your car.....???? Slipping....could be the beginning of some transmission problems <just what you want to hear!> I thought I had Trans problems too but it was just a loose catalytic converter.........Junk the buick and get the new CAMARO!!!!
Comments
- I don't know either....I kinda thought that too, the engine light does stay on as well, has for well over 6 months now...but someone has told me that it could mean nothing...???....Junk it?! I like this car...Although the Camero is a hot car, especially the convertable

- Take it to an Autozone (or something comparable) and they can do a free diagnositic. My check engine light always comes on and it always say Oxygen sensor which my Impala has about 5 of em! My mechanic says it hard to pinpoint exactly which one it is.

- I have taken it to a couple places, but they don't have anything to check it, it's too old of a model for what they have. I have done my own code check on it, and it comes up 41(cam sensor)but that was replaced...5! Bet there hard to get to(just like everything else)

Your car is 20 years old and getting tired. It sounds like the transmission is getting close to letting go and the motor is probably on it's last leg too. RUS is right, get it in someplace for a free diagnostic. If I'm right, you'd be better off looking for a newer car. Once you start doing major expense repairs to an old car they turn into a money pit, costing you more and more, and all you're left with is an old junker that you'll never get your money back out of. In the long run it's cheaper to just replace the car now, before anything actually lets go.
