I have a 92 Mustang GT 5.0 and I've been having a random issue where I'm driving down the road and all of a sudden it just turns off, kind of like someone turned the ignition switch off. It will usually turn right back on by itself within 5 seconds, give or take. This morning I was driving on the highway and the radio cut out (shut off) for a half a second then came right back on; it did this twice. Then a half a minute later, the car shut off for about 2 seconds then came right back on.
I'm pretty positive it's an electrical issue somewhere, but my question is where? Is this possibly the TFI that's mounted on the front of the distributor? Is it something inside the distributor cap? Is this an ignition switch issue? Starter solenoid?? I'm not sure where to start diagnosing or how to diagnose whichever part is in question. In other words, if the TFI is going bad, is there a way to test it before spending the money on a new one just to find out that wasn't the problem? Any help is appreciated. Thanks...
