Back in the carb days the raw gas would wash down the oil in the cylinders and do other nasties. I’ve looked into the cold engine wear claims and just found unsubstantiated statements from the 1930 40 50 era Think how difficult it is to measure “ engine wear on start up” and you begin to understand ...

It’s not just a relay, even though we call it that. It times out and shuts off the fuel pump if it doesn’t detect the motor running , this prevents it from pumping fuel to a fire after an accident.

Jump it with a wire to test it for funkiness. I probably have a spare to sell if needed

If you become a junkyard regular, you usually end up with several of these. I recently used one to help a 'new' 850 owner with the poor running of their car.

What's the point of this story: The oil light comes on 2 liters low, so I think your stalling issue has nothing to do with the oil.

Yes you can change both yourself. Cam sensor was quoted at 1 hr at the dealer, I think it took my about 10 mins. Crank is a bit more involved, but again do-able. Not re-programming. Fit and play. With the cam sensor wire, just make it is routed as far away from the distributor as possible. I would t...

Al, do you have a portable oscilloscope? With your electronics skills you might be able check it without even unbolting it. Well i can bring my laptop out there, but what do i look for? I've never had to mess with the crankshaft sensor, but I believe it's just a coil which is excited by a chunk of ...

And…it’s the 2022 edition

Don’t forget about lawnmower syndrome when you go to shuffle cars….let them run at least 5 minutes to burn off excess cold start fuel
