When the engine is cutting out, the tach doesn't move during the half-second of "engine-off". The engine rpm stays constant. Is that another clue. Thanks to all for the responses I've been getting. I appreciate all the thought that's gone into trying to help me. It will take a while for me to check out all your suggestions (as of yesterday, the car decided to behave itself and it ran fine).

If it |doesn't, you still migth have an ignition problem, but not for sure (most |likely not). Try to disconnect the fuel-pump-relay and connect the fuel pump |to the battery (the fuel-pump will now go all the time). Start up as usual. If |it is okey now, it might be the fuel-pump-relay or bad connection somewhere. |Another thing you/the garage can do, is to connect a pressure-gauge to the |inlet-fuel-hose. If the pressure drops when the engine cuts......Then you know |for sure what kind of problem it is. | |Øyvind Moxnes, Norway | || |
