Hi Turbo, I checked the grounds and no luck. It went for 24 minutes (10 miles) before croaking this time. I've been looping around the block for testing so it was only about 100 yards from home when it died. One clue, the engine compartment fan was on, and it took about 45 minutes before it would start again. Much longer than usual. But then, it's actually warm here today. It was damn cold before.
Hi LokiRx7, I thought your explanation was very good. Thanks! Still no trouble codes though. At this point I'm assuming that there would be a code if the ignitor failed to talk back to the engine ECU. In any case now I have an idea of how to check that feedback loop, which is very useful.
I was hoping that the thing would stay broken so I could trouble shoot it and find the problem, but no luck. Tomorrow I'm going to pull the "solenoid resistor" that is in series with the injectors and set it up so I can heat it up with a heat gun while reading the resistance. I'm thinking that it might be getting warm and opening up internally, which would certainly match the symptoms. I'll let you guys know how it goes! And thank you all for your help with this. If you have any new thoughts, please let me know!
