Re: Car runs then quits Electrical problem.

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The most common causes of this symptom are a bad connection at the
white ballast resistors or a bad pick-up coil in the distributer. You
are also correct a bad ECU module can cause this too but before you go
there check all the connections. A bad connection can make the ECU
look bad. Just the process of swapping an ECU may "fix" a bad
connection and lead you to conclude the 1st ECU was bad when it was
really a connection you disturbed. If you have 2 or more car just swap
parts until you can get the trouble to move to the other car. Then you
know for sure you have the "litttle troublemaker". ECU's do not seem
to have a high failure rate.
