Re: IT's Back! (Won't start)
I just remembered someone posting on one of the Model A websites a few years back that his engine would occasionally shut off while he was driving. He checked everything out, but couldn't find anything wrong. After fiddling with the usual suspects, the car would start again and off he went - until the next time the engine died. Then one day, the owner discovered that the fob on the key ring was so heavy that it was pulling the ignition key in the switch to the "off" position just enough to kill the ignition. I don't recall what the fob consisted of, but lots of guys have many keys or some heavy decorative art object that could cause this problem with a weak ignition switch, whose internal tumblers can't hold the key in the "on" position.
Perhaps if that poster is reading this thread, he can fill in the details. In the meantime, maybe "Terry, NJ" can check out this possibility, too, as long as he's looking over his ignition switch.
