Have already search and am making the jumpers to start testing. After reading up on the problem, I remember getting a whiff of electrical burning while driving. I thought it was a truck in front of us (might just have been my imagination).

I will update my findings as I go.

Good news the rebuilt engine is using about 1qt of oil per 1K miles, and drives better than it ever has with new Continental tires.
Had the same thing happen on the way back from Hershey. Turned out to be the CDI. I ended up installing an MSD Streetfire along with their coil. Warren
