This just started this morning while I was driving on the freeway. The engine just shut down (stopped running- all idiot lights came on and rpm=0). This occurred with no precusor indicators (nor did the engine run funny afterwards). I was at high speed and the engine restated it self within a second. This continued to occur at random intervals for the next 40 miles (until I got home). It also occurred several times at idle when I was at a stop light. As before, the engine just shut down (like someone turned off the key). I was able to immediately restart engine with no subsequent run problems (idle was in its normal range, no hunting, rough idle. etc). The shut down would reappear just seconds, minutes, or >30 minutes apart. I checked the high tension lead to the distributor, and moved the wires to the coil - no effect. any ideas??
