Talking '82 280zx Turbo - Just Stops Running While I'm Driving It!

HELP!!?? my beloved 1982 280zx TURBO coupe's motor just stops - it quits running - while I am driving it down the street, across town, rain or shine, no particular time or season .... I let it sit for 20-30 minutes & it starts again .... car moved to the deep south from Los Angeles 8-mos ago and this problem began. WHAT CAN I DO???? no mechanic here has an answer, just a lot of expensive guesses ... ANY IDEAS FROM YA'LL WOULD BE APPRECIATED. [img]:bannanadie[/img]

Well, there's a relay under the hood, beneath a black plastic cover next to the battery. It's one of the EFI relays. There's the horn relay on the side of the whole, and the EFI realy on the top. Buy one from a junkyard for $10. That should fix it.

Wow, man. This forum sure sucks. I never got an answer to my question, and I asked it months ago. Oh, and your tags are right, you just need to put the url in between.

EL TACO! THANX FOR REPLY.... I'm looking in the manuel to see if I can ID this part ... I'll post results if/when I can find that part here and replace it.
