Mike,

They are supposed to give you two weeks notice before they quit :)

Actually, it could be a number of things, loose ECU, ground, sensor wire, O2
sensor wire etc.

A short or loose wire by the fuse panel too.

Good luck tracking this down!

Jack

Van types,

Driving yesterday on a pretty bumpy paved road the engine suddenly quit.
Didn't restart even though it was in gear. Pulled over and turned the key
and it started right up and has run since then without incident.

86 syncro.

Any ideas? Anything to worry about?

Mike
