I was on the NJ turnpike the other day when the engine cut out. I pulled over and checked the distributor and coil, everything checked out. Engine turned over but did not start. I wiggled the main harness and the engine started and ran fine. I have to look for a broken wire or bad connection in the harness. Any color wires I should look at first??? Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Mine did that to me multiple times. Sometimes it would restart after sitting for a few minutes/hours. I finally fixed it by replacing the relay board in the engine bay. Problem disappeared so I took all of the black stuff off the bottom of the relay board to see if I could locate the problem. I found a loose connection from the trace to the fuse holder. I could see where it had been hot enough to melt some of the insulation. I could not see it from the top and the connection (rivet) seemed solid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
