RE: [DML] Strange Stalling problem (Fixed!)

["Kevin Abato" <delorean@xxxx>]

WOW!!!! Thanks John!

As i turns out, I took John's Advice below, and checked the intertia switch.
I started my car, let it run, and everything was fine. I tugged and pulled
on the wires for the inertia switch, and it still ran just fine. I then
tapped/knocked on the housing for the switch's box, and the car stalled! I
tryed to start it again, and no go. If i pulled the switch up and down, and
banged on the box a few times, the car would start again.....i let it run,
knocked on the switch, and BOOM....car died!

I called PJ Grady for some insight. Louie and Pat told me to check to see
if the switch had been replaced (there was a recall on them a while back)
and it had been. BUT...the housing for the switch was electrical taped
together! Someone must have opened it before for some kind of problem in
the past, and now it was acting up!

I replaced the switch last night, and after some quick tests, it seems to
run fine! I am taking the car out today for a drive to make sure all is
well....

THanks to Johny, Louie, and PAT!!!!!!

and....THANK GOD FOR THE DML!!!! Saved me $$$ (i normally would have
depended on a mechanic to find this problem!)

Kevin, Several things could be going on. Gas feed, loss of fuel pump
connections for a second. Look and see if the connector coming off the
inertia switch shows and signs of melting.If you may have hit the connector
with your foot and pulled it loose just enough to barely make contact. Press
it in good after you take it out and reinstall it. Also, check the wires on
the ignition coil and the white resistor against the fire wall. When was the
last time the accumulator was replaced. You can see the connector on the web
site at http://www.specialtauto.com/elec_main-2.shtml
