So wife calls me on the cell phone and says, "Gee, the car stumbled at the stop light, and then a minute later it stalled. But I waited two minutes, restarted, and now it's OK."
Yeah, right. OK my ass.
Last summer this happened, and it was a bum fuel pump relay. So I resoldered ALL the relays. Been fine 'til today.
I forgot the suppression relay under the hood.
So I popped it open (gotta cut the RTV seal), and you can see the picture below. Two very cracked solder connections. I resoldered. The top pix is "before," the bottom is "after."
