        Still Could Be Bad Battery ~ Once, way back when in My Old 83.5Westy, I was cruising along an ABQ street

@40mph & It instantly Shut Down. I coasted onto a side street & tried a Restart. It would Crank & Crank Quite

Strongly but Not Start. I did A Lot of Cranking But No Start > The Battery Never Gave Up. Finally called a Friend

to get Towed Home. Turned out that the Batt' had a Shorted Cell so was able to PutOut enough Volts & Current

to run the Starter But Not Enough Volts to make the ECU Happy  ~
