random stalling, can't figure it out 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be dlc on  Mon Sep 8 12:16 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I had the same problem with my 740 turbo. It would run fine and all of a sudden sputter and die. It wouldn't restart right away and then would start and run like there was nothing wrong. It drove the previous owner so crazy he sold me the car as a parts car. It turned out to be a failing ignition amplifier (power pack) and a used one for $5.00 from the junkyard fixed the problem. It is located on the driver's side inner front fender in front of the strut and right behind and slightly higher than the battery. I have no idea how to test one other than swapping in a known good one and seeing what happens. Hope this helps.
