Hey fellow listers,

Regarding the car just 'shutting down while highway driving' -- when
it happens I'm cruising and it happens without warning. It happened
about 4 or 5 times while driving home last evening (highway driving
for about 80km; my speed was between 100 and 120km/hr). Arriving home
I turned of the motor and the only power available to me when the key
was turned on again was the ability to close windows and sun roof.
This morning (crossing my fingers) it started without hesitation. I
will follow the lead of your suggestions, and any other, until this
most annoying problem is resolved.   

I welcome any and all help. 

As I have limited machanical knowledge so I hope I don't become too
annoying, or ask too many stupid questions.  

Again, thank you, and as my Irish friend likes to say, "When you die(God
forbid at this time), may you be in Heaven a half hour before the devil
knows your dead."

Take care,
Larry
