I HAVE A 1992 DODGE COLT VISTA THAT WHILE DRIVING WILL SHUTDOWN. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE MINUTES AND YOU CAN RESTART THE CAR, OTHER TIMES IT TAKES A DAY. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY, SOMETIMES YOU CAN DRIVE FOR A MONTH WITH OUT IT HAPPENING. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN TWO DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT LEAVES NO ERROR CODES IN THE CARS COMPUTER. *PH
