Subject:Wolfy Died... 1st time I've seen this problem
From:Jeffrey Schwaia

Well, my trusty '88 Wolfy died on me the other day.  It had been cutting out
briefly for the last few days, just a split second then it would be fine.  I
remember thinking to myself, "I wish it would just die so I could find the
problem."  Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.  The symptoms
were common enough, it would start then die as soon as the starter stopped
turning.  However, none of the usual culprits were found guilty, all relays
were okay, as were the ignition and fuel injection components.  Finally, I
decided to swap out the ECU... low and behold the connector to the ECU had
come loose.  I plugged it back in and everything was back to normal.  Never
seen that one before.

Cheers,

Jeff
