When driving normally, the engine will completely die, as if the ignition had been turned off. The cose set in obd II indicated misfire on all cylinders. It starts again immediately, but does not always continue to run. This will happen numerous times per day, several days in a row, then not happen again for several days. The electrical system tests completely ok. Fuel pressure tests are ok too. Car is at goss' garage in seabrook, md, phone 301-577-9200.
