[urq] intermittent ignition cutout, tach drops to zero

[Bruce Bell]

I'll vote for an intermittent ground somewhere. Arm yourself with some
DeoxIT (Steve B. recommendation) and clean those connections.

In the  last few days, my urq has started to cut out intermittently. 
The tach  drops to zero and most of the time it comes right back on its
own, but  sometimes I have to cycle the ignition switch.  Every time I
do have  to cycle the ignition switch it comes back  immediately
afterwards.

That is exactly what my car does once about every 7-8 months. I have  
replaced everything except the TDC sensor on the flywheel. Since it is
_so_  
sporadic, I have no way of knowing what fixed it, if in fact I have. 
I too, have not been able to reproduce it. It happened again on the way
home 
form Park City. Keep me posted on your findings.
