It'll get better. I've kind of kept my mouth shut on your stalling problems because I don't really know what to say. I will agree with checking/replacing the ign. coil if you have a spare ( known good ) laying around. Common problem on lawn mowers ( I know not the same thing, still an internal combustion gasoline engine ). They quit when hot & start right back up after they cool off. Personally, would not sell/trade the Eagle for the other thing, but that's me. It's yours, do what you want/have to. Part of the reason is I've always been a V-8 fan. Never cared for 6 in a row & you're losing two of those plus going to FWD. Sorry, just not my cup of tea. Give me a V-8 rear wheel drive any day. As I said, that's my PERSONAL opinion. Not trying to tell you what to do. Good luck with whatever you decide.
