Possible egr sticking, or carboned up, idle speed control sticking, throttle
body needs cleaning, lots of possibilities here.

HI Folks!
My 1995 Lumina Van recently developed stalling in traffic. Will restart but
takes several tries before it will allow driving.
I took it in to my garage and they could not recreate the failure. They
suggested it needed a major tune up which I agreed to. Changed spark plugs
wires and dist cap. Also fuel filter and cleaning of injectors. After thee
days of driving the problem reappeared. Analyzer showed no trouble codes.
Any suggestions?

if it stays running if you pop it into neutral, I'd suspect the
transmission torque converter lock up solenoid (TCC.)

is it running fine otherwise?
