"...it quit running" doesn't tell us much. The first question I would ask is HOW did it quit running? For instance:

- Like you shut off the ignition... suddenly no combustion whatsoever?

- Like you were running out of gas... slow death in the form of spurts, no backfiring?

- Like the ignition system is going stupid... deterioration of power accompanied by backfiring?

You don't say, but I infer the car will restart after a period of time with no work whatsoever. True?
