Car is stalling while driving!

[J_Freder]

'98 F23A1 with the 4 speed auto and about 210K miles
car stumbles and stalls randomly while driving (2nd time this has happened now)
not sure if its new, as my light is always on, but got a CEL - P1457 (EVAP system leak)

also noticed that once the car stalls, the e-brake light comes on and the car thinks all the doors and trunk are open.

I think I'm gonna clean the battery ground cable and make sure I've got a tight fit, other than that do you think my fuel pump is on the way out?

Stuck at some church at an intersection I managed to coast into.

on another note - I changed my radiator a while back and lost a lot more trans fluid than one might think you would when removing the trans cooling lines (possibly even a quart) and i just went and added it back.

car driving better than ever?!?!? now im lost.

should i look into this further?

bump -

I have no peace of mind driving my car right now.

does anyone have any input?

Does the car shut off while driving then turn back on again? Ever have trouble starting it?

How long have you had the p1457?

What you described leads me to believe you are having a fuel issue somewhere. You said that the lights on the dash are still illuminated so I don't attribute that to an ignition switch though I guess that doesn't rule it out altogether. No other codes to report?

Does it start up right after? Has your main relay been serviced?

What James said^

Just recently had this problem on my 97 ex accord. I replaced ignition switch and distributor and the car has been fine since then. I would try replacing the main relay and ignition switch first because the distributor can be pretty spendy

I ended up checking my master relay and had the typical cracked solder joint.

car has been fine since i de soldered then re soldered it properly

so if this happens to anyone else check your master relay.
