Several months ago my engine started to randomly shut off while I was driving. This would happen anywhere between coming to a stop or when driving up to 65 mph. The engine would complete turn off without any shutters. I could pump the gas but nothing would happen. When this would happen at freeways speeds, the car of course being in drive, it would not cause the engine to jump start itself. The radio would also die. I could shift into neutral and most of the time it would start up immediately again. I thought that I solved the problem when I discovered that a wire for my after market tachometer was hanging down buy the headers. The insulation had burnt off and it was shorting out on the headers and killing the engine. I taped up the wire and relocated it. I also gave the engine a tune up with new points, rotor and plugs. The problem seemed to have gone away but a couple weeks ago it came back with a vengeance. Now it will sporadically die in the same fashion. Could the coil be damaged from the short in the tac line? I'm sure the problem is electrical but I don't know what might be causing it. Occasionally the key will be warm when I remove it from the ignition. Is that the sign of a bad ignition switch? Also sometimes when the engine dies the turning the iginition to start will do nothing. The starter won't engage and the radio won't come on. I could really use some help on this one. I don't have much experience on diagnosing problems. Thanks
