While on the freeway today, the car just shut off. I discovered if I turn the ignition to off it would restart. This happened a few random times before I got home. It would always restart if I turned the key off. Any clues?

Hello,

These cars had a big problem with the distributor. Please remove the cap and look for rust colored dust under the cap and in the distributor.

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken
