MAYBE IT IS 'LECTRICAL?
FIRE IT UP
UNDER THE HOOD
METHODICALLY AND GENTLY
START MOVING WIRES/ CONNECTORS/ LOOSE STUFF
TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
NO YANKING AND SNATCHING!
WE ARE TRYING TO REPRODUCE THE GENTLE CENTRIFUGAL FORCES THAT THIS STUFF IS EXPERIENCING WHEN YOU TURN LEFT
WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS, LOOK FOR WIRES AGAINST/ OR ON TOP OF HOT STUFF
LOOK FOR SKINNED PLACES WHERE THINGS MIGHT SCRAPE AGAINST METAL WHEN THEY VIBRATE OR SCOOT ABOUT
REMEMBER, WE DON'T WANNA DRASTICALLY DISTURB STUFF, AS WE MIGHT UNKNOWINGLY "FIX IT" FOR 6 MONTHS, THEN IT MYSTERIOUSLY RETURN, 100 MILES FROM NOWHERE ATOP THE INDIAN BURIAL GROUNDS, CLOSE TO JASON'S POND AT 3:00 AM, THIS TIME, NO CRANKY BACK UP!
WE WANNA, FOR SURE, NIP IT IN THE BUD, RIGHT NOW!
USE A COMPACT (MAKE-UP MIRROR) TO GENTLY SEE THE BACK SIDE OF STUFF
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO DANGLING STUFF
THERE ARE MOVING ENGINE PARTS YOU MIGHT BE NEAR!
DON'T LET ONE GETCHA!
BE CAREFUL/ BE SAFE
WHEN YOUR RIG "STUTTERS" OR "CUTS OFF" YOU ARE CLOSE TO THE PROBLEM!
NARROW IT DOWN!
BEFORE I UPGRADED MY FIRST (OF 7) 1977 JEEP CJ-5 IGNITION SYSTEM TO BE LIKE A 1979. THE OLD SYSTEMS DISTRIBUTOR USED SMALL SOLID COPPER WIRE (INSULATED AND IN A SLEEVE, RESEMBLING FLAT PHONE CORD) FROM IT TO A FAT CONNECTOR (WHICH JOINED IT TO THE REGULAR WIRE HARNESS (MADE OF DURABLE STRANDED COPPER WIRE
NAIVE AT THE TIME, THE FAT CONNECTOR SWUNG ABOUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ZIP TIED DOWN. EVENTUALLY ONE OF THE LITTLE SOLID COPPER WIRES LEADING INTO MR. DISTRIBUTOR BROKE IN HALF. BEING IN THE INSULATION AND SLEEVE, IT STILL MADE CONTACT. IN TURNS AND BOUNCING, MY JEEP WOULD DIE FOR SECONDS AND BACKFIRED HITHER AND YON AS CONTACT WAS MOMENTARILY BROKEN!
IT WAS A-KILLIN' ME TO "HAVE TO" DRIVE IT LIKE THAT!
I USED THE METHOD I JUST DESCRIBED TO YOU TO FINALLY LOCATE THE PROBLEM
RETURN HERE WITH A BIG OLE GRIN!
