I would suspect the spark plug wires, the coil, the battery and the battery connections at both the battery end and the ground/starter/alternator ends. Work that out. Then go to the fuel system and check out the fuel pump and all related components. If that don't fix it, then it's time to look at the main computer. It might be get senile. ;) Steven sjohnson@pcocd2.intel.com
