thanks for the suggestions - keep them coming.

Mook - I was lucky enough to have the PO with me in the car when the problem hit. He said he would rotate the relays for the fuel pump and ac and fog lights, and after doing so, it would start. It did not work today. His mechanic said this was a coincidence and he had checked all the relays, fuses, and cleaned the connections - replaced the CD unit, which then failed and was replaced again under warranty. As for when it occurs - well it did it today at idle when relatively cold and at speed (5th @ 75 mph) and no bumps. The wires and ground are excellent starting points. It appears the original wires are still on it. Would a bad coil wire cause intermitent kills without the wire being distrubed (as in hitting a bump)? Also, I don't think I have heard the fuel pump humm, but I will check tonight when I get home.

livi - thanks for the input. I will check the ground connection. Again, would it just fail sporatically w/o aggitating it?
