Finally, the board is back in service. I could not access it last evening.

Maybe I shouldn't have buried the question so deep in the original post but those findings were the one thing I really wondered about. The books tell you what to look for but don't offer much guidance on what to do about it. I guess the implication is replacement. But if this is not likely the cause I won't worry about it too much being the car runs so well.

But it will be in the back of my mind and I will probably bring it up again.

I wish the rotor was the culprit. Yes, I checked it several times. I thought cleaning it up would help but it didn't. I did replace it and the car has died again. Twice, in fact.

Given that, and the fact that Bruce, Matt, Steve, Phil and now you all strongly suggest the pump relay as being suspect I will turn my attention to it.

In fact, I had tried to do some improvement in that area a couple of weeks before all of this began. I was confident of my repair to the wiring and conector at the 87 terminal and put it out of my mind. But now I won't be surprised to find that I have not done it as well as I might have.
