The problem with the car shutting off traced it self back to a wiring issue, a wire had bared itself and was shorting out. As it was tied into another circuit it caused more than a fwe problems.

I used to run a BG 400 fuel pump, and to run it on the street I used a BG 'step down' box. Since going back to a mech. fuel pump, we still left the box wired up the way it was, , years later, it came back on me.

So now the box is completly disconnected and removed, and now... the car starts and turns off with the key!

Thanks again, Bryan
