<div dir="auto">Yes Tom, I had a similar experience with a BJ8 on
a delivery journey to its new owner.

bags and all the spares and paraphernalia that came with the
car.</div>
<div dir="auto">On the second day of the the journey the car
died after going over a small bump on the highway. </div>
<div dir="auto">After extracting my tool kit from the boot, in
order to diagnose the problem, the car immediately restarted. </div>
<div dir="auto">We repeated this exercise a couple of times over
many miles before I figured out the process of taking the tool
kit out of where it was stored in the right side of the boot
was preventing the small white with black wire, that had
become disconnected from the master switch, from grounding out
on the inside of rear shroud.</div>

<div>OK---2 months ago, my BJ8 decided to shut off while I
was driving----couldn't figure out why while sitting
beside the road so had her towed home. Long story
short--in the process of troubleshooting I have replaced
may things--the coil, VR, fuel pump, ignition switch.
cleaned the carbs--blew out the fuel lines, changed fuel
filter (i have removed the internal filter and added an
external one) . I THOUGHT that after the ignition
switch was changed that I had found the problem--she ran
beautifully for over a month.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BUT----------2 days ago while driving------she shut
down----sputtered for a short time them off----wouldn't
start. AAA Tow home again.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I had another thought-------and this focuses on
the theory that it is electrical. My thought was that
maybe the cut-off switch had an internal problem such
that it would open the wire leading from it to the
coil. If it did, it would shut it down. The system
would still be grounded through the many cut off
switch. So, I disconnected the wire leading to the coil
( it doesn't need that anyway)-----and she has been
purring ever since. Am I dreaming---or is this a
possible cause? Is my thinking correct? I'm running
low on AAA towing passes so don't want to go out on the
road to test it yet. </div>
