240: Intermittent start problems, 1992. Should I suspect the wiring harness?

Been having intermittent start problems where the engine will cut out while driving. Sometimes it will restart, sometimes not. Sometimes after the car has been moved or jacked up it will restart. In reading over previous posts it sounds like the wiring harness problems common in earlier 240's were more or less taken care by '92.

I've checked some of the more common intermittent start problems (fuses, relays, plugs, wires, fuel pump, fuel regulator, rpm sensor, vacuum hoses, air mass meter). Should I give some serious thought to the wiring harness? Anyone else with a later 240 (post-1988) had problems with theirs?

Thanks for the help.
