Coil? (maybe)
aar0s,
I'm not saying this is your problem but '89 Mustang was doing the same thing. It would run fine for a given period of time and then just die.
Once I drove it on a weekend trip, it was fine all weekend and then, about 2 miles from home, it died. The interval before it started cutting out began to shorten very quickly. (like within the next day or two)
Eventually, it would only run for a mile or two until finally, it wouldn't even start!
I couldn't figure out what the problem was 'cause it would never dublicate when I wanted it to. (so I could fix it.)
The last time (when the car wouldn't start) I popped open the hood and noticed a burned wire smell. My nose went right to the ignition coil and I noticed it was burnt (by the indication of a white chalky ring around it!
I replaced the coil; Problem solved!
Like I said, the coil might not be your problem, but it's worth looking into and easy to do.
Good luck,
Phil
