My car will be fine then all of a sudden it dies while under a normal load. Afterwards it takes hours before it will restart, I know that sounds like a vapor lock but its not that, I have spark, fuel pressure, But no fuel injection pulse, where does that pulse come from? this is driving my husband :screwy: and hes an excellent mechanic. His specialty is Volvo and Mercedes though. If anyone knows this or can direct me to where I can be informed it would be most appreciated. :iceslolan

The Bosch 1.1 uses two flywheel sensors to feed signals to the ECU.
Spraying the connectors with WD40 will get 24 months of operation.
See the connectors in figure three just above the idle speed actuator.
The reference sensor has a white tie rap on it.
The other is the tach signal and feeds the indicator only.

Here is the diagram to show the issue.
