[V8] stuck in Milwaukee / Tachometer trouble

COLD water works best.  Ice isn't a bad choice either.
It's very frustrating, but it shortens the time between restarts until 
you can get it to the garage.  Ask me how I know...

Yup. What Kneale said.

  In an emergency you can ride around with a 2 liter bottle filled with 
water. You can dump some of the water along the block at the driver's 
side distributor and it will speed up the 'recovery' process.

You need a new Engine Speed Sender  (077905381A).  It reads the teeth of
the flywheel and lets the ECU know the engine is running.  Without a
signal, the ECU turns off the spark.  In an emergency, if it's working 
well
enough to allow a restart after slight cooling, you could replace it 
with
the Ignition Reference Sender  (077905381), which only has to give a 
signal
to permit a start.  They're together behind a heat shield in the middle 
of
the driver side exhaust plumbing.  Very i
nconvenient spot to get to.

Hey Audifans,   While driving from UP Mich. to Milwaukee, to go to a
wedding in upper-state NY , my V8 Q  kept  shutting down . I would have 
to
wait 7-12 min. before it would re-start .   What I noticed was the gages
were all fine  except the tach would drop out and i'm coasting
.....re-start would  not happen when trying for 7-12 min. of engine 
being
off...The stopping of motor seemed to be every 45 min. or so the first 3
times..By the time I was 25 miles from Milwaukee  the old girl was 
turning
off every 4 miles .I parked the 1990 V8Q before heading into the city 
and
had my daughter come get us. What would be causing this to happen ???  
NEED
HELP with diagnosis  ,,,Thanks in advance   Rick inthe UP
