The armored cable! I had a nick in the cable between the firewall and the dash. Something that wasn't normally visible.I was having problems of the car running, not running, running. You get the idea. There were times I'd back it out of the garage to let it warm up and the it would die. All due to the nick in the cable. I found it by pulling off the dash to see if I could find anything that was causing he intermittent running. As i was fooling around with the dash, I saw a few small sparks. Long story short, I pulled all that old wiring from the dash and replaced it. The Shielded cable nick was repaired and the car now runs quite well! All those problems were because of a darn nick in that cable!
