Do any of you guys know why my 1994 E175GLERA would idle fine but stall when put in gear - when I fogged it for winter, i discovered that the 3 port side cylinders don't seem to be firing at all!

I believe the shift interrupter switch affects the starboard side. You may have a bad power pack.

Thanks, Boobie - If that's the case, it will be my third in this engine- Like changing spark plugs, eh? I'll try these two fixes in order. It's great to have some direction in this repair, I really appreciate it!

The shift interrupter switch killed the fire on the starboard bank of cylinders from 1993 through mid 1990s. By 1998, a change was made for the shift interrupter switch to kill the fire on the port bank.
