Just discovered this thread 200 1980

Oh crap. I feel really stupid now. That was you I sent the terminals to a couple months back. Its the screen name thing, I think, Don, or I would consider having my memory replaced.

I can't tell you where the problem is. Only point at likelihoods established by previous experiences, and we all know, there's always one new experience to add to the pile -- just hope it isn't yours.

Once, about 15 years ago, my daughter drove a Mitsubishi whose motor quit on the expressway. Started right up after missing all the opportunities to smash up getting to the breakdown lane. I had no idea what did it. But I knew it was important to know for certain what caused the stall at speed.

So I built this nerdy looking array of LEDs on a perf board to wire into various parts of the fuel injection and ignition systems, and asked her to see if she could pay attention to which colored lights were on when the next engine failure occurred.

Well, it never did recur, and the only consequence of the diagnostic was a few hosiery runs (as she recounted) caused by its rough edges and unfortunate placement in the footwell.
