No warning cut out

[RICHARD KROL]

Jim,  My 84 4kq was doing the same thing.  My cut out was a shorter duration most of the time only 5 to 10 seconds but long enough to upset the person behind me.  Only twice I went to the side of the road and a couple of minutes later it would start and drive fine.  I experienced this problem about once a month until I replaced my ignition control module.  Problem went away.

  I've received a lot of response to this. I'll try to answer some of the 
  questions thus far,

  The fuel pump relay was fairly new. I replaced it because while I was working 
  at Philadelphia Airport, my fuel pump was running while the car was turned 
  off and at work. Get to my car, no start. This was back in 2002. I have a few in 
  stock and have replaced it today.

  My Tachometer went to zero because I depressed the clutch. When the clutch 
  was released, the Tach was again indicating the engine speed, even though the 
  engine was not running. In other words, I was using the engine as a brake until 
  I pressed in the clutch. The Tach did not go to zero when the engine quit.

  I have not checked the ignition control module yet. But that's a good thought.

  I ordered all the ignition parts today (cap/rotor/wires/plugs) I also looked 
  inside of my cap today, it didn't look too happy in there. I'll replace 
  everything and see if it does it again.


  Thanks,

  Jim
