96 Intrepid Stalls - Ground Strap problem?

If there was a fault that a scan tool could read, would you get the check
engine light? And when it does happen, it's while your driving, so how do I
hook up the scan tool at an intersection.

You do like we do, you drive the vehicle with a scan tool connected and hope
that it fails so you can see what is going on. If that doesn't occur on a
test drive you will have to connect a co-pilot to the vehicle and have the
owner drive it. when the problem occurs a button is pushed and it snaps a
picture of what the engine controller was doing and all sensor values at the
time. A fault code does not have to be set for something like this. That's
why intermittent problems are so hard to find.
