[s-cars] Intermittant stalling: resolved

[David Forgie]

Wylie: If you can, I would find a set of G4 and G28 engine speed and crank position sensors and swap them in to see if that is the problem or not. The other thing you need to know is the crank position pin (about 1 in long x 3/8" square) can and has come detached from some flywheels. Solution is to weld it (or a substitute) back on.

For the pin location go to the URL below. Its the thing at about 8 o'clock in the photo.
