94 SL1 Stalling

My daughter's car 116K auto. Driving and when she stop or pull out from a
stop the car will stall on occasion. 2 tries will restart the car and off
she will go with no problems. She may drive the car 2 - 3 with no problems
and then suddenly another stall as stated above.

I know it's kinda general info but any suggestions? As you could guess this
is an older car and we are hoping to keep repair cost down.

When was it last tuned? The simplest things to try first are to replace the
plugs and air filter and thoroughly clean the throttle body using a good TB
cleaner, a toothbrush, and a rag. (I'd put my money on this being a dirty
TB and AIS.) Also make sure the wires are in good shape too. They probably
should have been replaced at least twice by this age/mileage. Also toss a
bottle of some good fuel injector cleaner into the gas tank. I recommend
Techron.

And although it is not likely your problem, the fuel filter needs regular
maintenance too. Most people forget this needs to be replaced.

plugs good, airfilter good, TB clean plug wires looked good. I'm waiting to
empty gas tank to add the injector cleaner and I'm going to replace the fuel
filter. could it be a vacuum leak? How - where do I test that? Not sure
exactly where I look for those leaks.

TIA
