Think i finally figured it out...

Ok, so today I put a new cone filter on my vaf and as I was doing that, the wire from the dizzy to the coil came apart. I was like...wtf. So I looked closer and the protective rubber was corroded away, and the wire was hanging on by a few small strands. I pulled the boot off the coil and there was blue battery corrosion looking dust/crap inside the coil. So, I changed the coil out, and got a new set of plug wires. Hopefully this is what was causing my car to be stupid and die randomly. It makes sense, because before I drive my car I wait for it to warm up completely. Then as Im driving, the wire was probably being jarred around pretty good. And loosing a connection or something. Make sense?? I sure hope so!!!! ****ing OEM coil was $89 at the parts store....re-****ing-diculous.

You can rig any MSD coil into the car for under $30. Hell I used a Fleet Farm coil, that was only $10.

My car died for a half second on my way back to work from lunch yesterday... I forgot to tighten the battery cables last time I worked on it Both the pos and neg were really loose... glad they didn't come off while going around a turn at 65mph
