Default Stalled out twice in 2 days

99 Discovery II stalled out after filling the gas tank up after hitting empty. After 10 mintues of trying to start (rapid click, clik, click), I let it rest for 5 mintues and it started. Next morning took it out and it stalled after driving around for 1/2 hour. After second stall (which had been accompanied be a jerk) the engine light came on as well. My garage says the codes are for multiple misfires. It should be noted that I had the plugs and wires replaced 7 months ago and 2 months ago I had the service light come on and then eventually go off by itself (again misfire codes, but never stalled out). Did a test and the fuel pump is working as it should, and they are doing a sevice where the fuel system gets flushed out.

I just feel that there is something else wrong here. I almost feel the garage is just waiting for me to say "do this" or "do that" becuase they don't want to be on the hook for something major that isn't going to fix the problem. Does this sound like an ignition coil problem to anyone? Is that something the garage should be able to tell if I tell them I am curious about it?
Thanks for any help

Default RE: Stalled out twice in 2 days

If it is the TD5, you have to allow the fuel pump to prime three times before you start the engine. Switch the ignition to position II, and wait until the pump stops whining. Do this 2 more times, and you can start the car immediately. Not doing this can cause an airlock in the fuel lines.
