Seems the Ur-Quattro ignition bugs are biting agian.
I have been using the TQC as a daily driver for the last
week to allow for running for new parts and getting
smogged, and testing the reliability.  Well!  I had
the ignition cut out twice in the last day.  First 
time was obviously my fault.  I was running without
the ECU backshell clamped down, the box just dangling
by the connector.  So I squish it back in and am on my 
way.  Today it died again.  It was late last night 
and I didn't clamp down the connector.  So i clamp
it down and crank it over.  Nothing...  So I twiddled
with the distributor, thinking it was out of the timing
"window".  still nothing.  That's where it sits now, dead.

I managed to fetch tools and manual and plan on starting to
work the problem after work.  It's in the parking lot at
work.  Not very convenient!  Hope I can find it quickly.
