While driving fown the road the coach engine quit, then restarted itself.
This happenedd several times in aa 6 month period. A couple of time it
died while I was moving slowly, and failed to restart itself.
Putting the tranny in neutral and turning the key did the trick.
There were a few more possible causes suggested, but good old JUNO ate
them before I could check them out, and I don't remember what they were.
Jim's suggestions about connectors in the distributor and the steering
column didn't cure the problem.
If anyone can come up with more possibilities, I'll try to save them
outside of JUNO, so its insatiable appetite can't get them.
I reeely don't want the lady to quit in traffic and not strand us.
Thanks,
Ron C
Ron, more than likely a electrical issue. Probably a loose connector in
the
ignition circuit. If you have HEI, I would remove the coil cover on top
of
the cap and check the plug in connections. That is a frequent offender.
Other places to inspect is where the ignition primary circuit starts at
the
base of the steering column. There is a multi-pin connector there that is
vulnerable to shoes and stuff like that. Also, the starter solenoid where
the starter primary wires hook up.
