Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Do you have a stock induction system on, or has it been changed?

Do you know if your choke heater wire is hooked up to the choke thermostat?

If the choke light comes on at the same time as the engine dies, then it's lighting up because the alternator is no longer charging when the engine stops.
