[s-cars] Engine cut-out - still

[Robert Myers]

Chris,

I pulled the MAF connector and cleaned the contacts carefully.  Then 
a swabbing with Stabilant 22a was done.  While in there I took a good 
look at the cable itself.  It looks good.  Went for a drive.  Car 
started and ran perfectly.  I drove it about a mile from home and 
then turned around, car still running great.  About 100 yards before 
getting back home the engine cut out again and didn't want to restart 
(car still rolling with clutch out).  I coasted into my driveway and 
the engine restarted so I pulled it into the garage.  I don't think 
the MAF cable - at least not the connector -  is the problem.
