Klaus-

I looked-at the cam sensor last night, wriggled the wire while running to no effect. The wire's not close to any plug wires.

If I understand correctly, the cam sensor is only used during start-up, and my car will start (sometimes, but runs rough) after dying. Last Friday, the car died at an intersection when the accelerator was pressed (and wouldn't start) after being driven for 3 miles (from cold start-up). It started and ran fine the next morning. So, I'm thinking it's not a cam sensor.

I guess it's possible that an injector could stick open, but that usually doesn't happen when the car's running smoothly. I have been using fuel injector cleaner for the last 18k miles (when I bought the car).

So, I ordered a crank sensor and new dist. cap. Hope this fixes the issue!

Thanks!
