It came to my mind all of the sudden. Car breakdown by unknown issues are more an a electrical matter rather than an mechanical one. Twenty or twentyfive years makes really bad things to all the splicing contacts within the car and there are many. One multiwire in particular is the one over the brake booster. There are nine wires in that connector and they go to so many vital parts, DME/ECU, DME relay and Fuel injectors. The heaviest is 4.0 sqmm and other are only 0.5 sqmm an we can bet that there is corrosion there. So, I would reccomend you all guys to pull that connector, clean male and female contacts and lubricate them with ample amount of dielectric grease. Push the connector halves together and live happily after.
Of course, you should do this to every contact you can possibly reach just to make sure that these contacts will never harm you or the car again.
