As HA!!!   .....The Plus from Hell strikes again.

I'll bet your CE light was dimmer than normal when it wouldn't run, right?

To everyone and anyone with a SHO......Not yelling, just trying (again) to spread
the word.......

OBSERVE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT BRIGHTNESS WHEN THE CAR WON'T START FOR AN UNKNOWN
REASON.......

THEN........

IF THE CE LIGHT IS DIM WHEN THE CAR WON'T START, OR AFTER IT QUITS ON THE ROAD, AND
IF YOU GET NO FUEL PUMP PRIMING WITH THE KEY ON, CHECK THE CONNECTIONS TO THE PCM. 
CHECK THE CONNECTIONS TO THE PCM.   CHECK THE CONNECTIONS TO THE PCM.

I said, CHECK THE CONNECTIONS TO THE PCM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job!!  Another potential unsolveable electrical gremlin fixed.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
