Hi Earle,
Thanks, I thought '91 was the last year of the carburated AMC
straight six, even though all Ford and GMs had been using electronic
injection since the early eighties.

I remember my '91 4cyl doing this... seems like the best solution I found
was pulling one of the circuit breakers from the fuse block under the
hood... can't remember which one now... been too long. But I had this
problem well away from civilization a couple of times, would start it in a
difficult situation and then stall it doing the clutch/brake thing with all
three feet. I did start it the first couple of times by holding the pedal
on the floor, but found it was quicker to pull that relay. sorry can't
remember which one.

I have a '93, 4 cyl and have had the same sort of problem related to
two different things. The first was the computer fritzing out. Some
numskull put a screw through the firewall that eventually worked it's
way through the case around the computer. The board began to short
once in a while and wouldn't start back up immediately. After a few
tries it would though. The local dealership were the one;s to finally
diagnose and fix the problem about a $1000 bucks later.

The other one was a relay in the relay box in front of the battery. It
was corroding and not making good contact. i fixed that one with a can
of electrical cleaner fluid and running fine emory boards in the
contact hole. If you look in the cover I think it will tell you which
one is related to the ignition. An interesting way to see if it is the
contact is the next time it won' t start try jumping the contact using
a wire in the holes. Someone showed that to me and that was how we
narrowed it down to the contact.

'93 4 cyl - ain't nothin there bit the basics but it gets me where I
gotta go.
