i have a 1982 toyota landcruiser and have had the same problem.
it initially happened while driving(out	in the middle of the mojave
desert of all places!),	the car	would just die.	i'd pull over and try
to restart with	no results, we got out scratched our heads, got	back in
and wahla it would start. this wouldnt happen again for	6 months, i
thought	the car	had healed itself :^). well it happened	again, this time
as i was pulling into work. perfect timing, i rounded up all the hobby
mechanics, computer technicians	and testing equipment i	could find.
well we	couldn't find the problem, i reseated an inline plug and the car
started. this doesnt make me feel any better(too easy).	it may be an
intermitent short(i hope not). if anyone has had similar problems and
can help please	copy me	as well.
