Depends on if your vehicle is carbureted or has EFI. If it's a carbureted engine, then the carburetor's choke valve may need tuning. If it's EFI, then the voltage regulator could have shorted and that would cause a certain spark plug to short out so when that spark plug would attempt to fire, the ignition order would blow out of sequence and cause a stall in the car. If your car is EFI, then remove your suppression cables and check the spark plugs. If you have a bad spark plug, replace the spark plug and if the problem persists or if the same spark plug goes bad shortly after, then have a mechanic look at your voltage regulator, ignition coil, starter solenoid, starter relay, and ignition module.

92 Grand Am stalls when warm or hot Changed the brain and coil pack still nothing seems to help problem only happens if car is warm or hot what else can you try?

You need to check the crank sensor at the harmonic balancer. when it gets hot, it stalls the engine. let it cool for a few moments then it starts again. If it's hot and stalss and won't start; try spraying water around the balancer, to cool the sensor. Then see if it starts.
