I have a 1995 Mustang GT, 5.0, HO motor, with 90,000 miles. The car has an intermittent electrical problem of some sort. It could be running for a while and just die out. It will crank over, but not start. Wait 10 min to 1 hour and it starts. During the time it will not start I checked for gas flow and the pressure is going to the engine as it squirts out of the valve near the engine. I checked for spark and it was not getting any between the coil and the distributor at that time. I changed the ignition module and that did not help. A computer check came back okay during normal operating times. This problem is especially irritating while driving on the freeway and the engine dies and won't start. I would welcome any suggestions as to what component I can try to replace. Is this relatively common for this year Mustang with the mileage I have? Thanks, Chris
