Yeah, no kidding.  What's with all these other suggestions?

Crank sensor.

Boy, it certainly sounds like classic crank sensor symptoms, diving tach, no
CEL, and all!!

Your crank sensor symptoms were different? Are you sure it was the crank
sensor last time?

Strange symptom:  while driving down the road the engine momentarily dies,
tach dives, then immediately recovers.  Somewhat comical, lurching down the
road.  It will stall at idle, but start right up again.  Also, it is erratic
in nature; I'm only driving short distances till I get it fixed, and some
trips it won't do it at all.  No apparent consistency; hot, cold, or
between. Since the tach dives, I'm thinking its electrical in nature; but
doesn't throw a CEL or code.  The crank sensor was changed at a 60K about
20K miles ago, but I've had one go out and the symptoms were quite
different.  Since it always starts right up, probably not a cam sensor.
What happens if the DIS becomes erratic; or has anyone had a crank sensor do
this sort of thing?  Any other ideas?  ('91)  No recent maintenance, that
might have caused this, by the way. Mike
