    Default Random die outs

    Hey hows it going? Just did a small tune up on my 86 5.0. I changed out plugs,cap and rotor. The cap and rotor
    Are MSD and plugs are ngk cooper. I had been running Ngk platinum, now every once in awhile when I drive the car
    Will die out and show 0 rpm on the tac if I down shift it will fire back up no problem but if I'm at a light it will
    Take a minute or two to start up. Car has 61000 miles on it with a few bolt ins. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Check your wiring at the Duraspark box. Insulation tends to get baked dry and fall off. Twisting of the engine will cause wires to cross and short out power and/or signals. Just put some electrical tape between the wires for a quick fix.
