But if you mean the engine starts running rough, I think it's proberbly the main power relay. They're not expensive, check to see if there's any corrosion around the terminals, if there is clean them up, also check the inside of fusebox to see if there's any condensation/wet, give it a blast with the hair dryer if there is.
