my 87 tc has 360,000 miles its a stock 302 all original
sometimes when I drive, well most of the time, the car will just shut off. I will pull over and pop the hood, jiggle the wires going from the spark b control to the distributer and or the harness that its a part of and the car will start,l sometimes that doesnt work and I have to disconnect and reconnect toe coil condensor. none of this makes any sense to me its obvious there is a loose wire somewhere or something is just not working right but what I want to know before I start tareing into what looks like several thousand feet of wireing harness, does anyone know of any tsb's concerning this problem? maybe not including the jiggling of wires but taking into concideration that is near where the issue is. I'm getting ready to off the engine but I need to keep it running atleast long enough to get to work for the next 2 months. to try and save for a new 302 engine.
