Hi Porkface,

Thanks for the comments.
This is the third event where it refused to start and was repaired by
disconnecting the battery for ten seconds.

The good news is I didn't need a tow home, and it's working normally.
The bad news is it's an intermittent fault and hard to troubleshoot.
Is there any history of flaky solder joints in AMM's?

How do you account for the repair by disconnecting the battery?

The AMM gets it's 12V from the main fuel relay. I'll test my new Lisle
relay puller scheduled to get here Saturday, and pull the fuel relay
and check each socket pin to see if it's tight, brush a little Penetrox
on each pin, reinsert, rub the beads and see what happens. If I find
a loose pin, it might be paydirt.

The next time it quits I'll check for OBD codes and see if 1-2-1 pops again.

Others might try disconnecting the battery if their car suddenly cranks but
wont start. That's where the 10MM wrench comes in, and it beats a tow.

Cheers, Bill
