Having an annoying problem with my 85 GL. First occurred about 3 months ago
while traveling on the highway. The engine died (tach dropped to zero), but
kicked back in within a couple seconds. Didn't happen again for about a
month, but when it did the cut out lasted a few more seconds.  Over the last
couple of months the frequency of this phenomenon has increased to where I
can expect it to occur at least once or more a day. It seems totally random.
It happens while idling at a stop light, at freeway speeds, or driving in
town. The engine runs very well before and after this happens. Any helpful
hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
