Made it home without incident. Car was abruptly dying repeatedly on the way home. Long story short, there was corrosion inside the coil, i.e. where the coil-to-disty wire plugs in. William did some quick roadside diagnosis and narrowed down the main suspect. Grabbed a spare coil I just happened to have with me; installed it (2-minute job); car fired right up and gave me no problem all the way home.

Fred and I are now home, no problems and no Deer hits so that's a good thing, thank you PU for shuttling my parts that saved me a bunch of shipping charges and it was great to everyone and to meet Mr. Torque.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment
