Re: help!! motor quits
Hi Matt,
If you have to play with the ignition switch than that's where your
problem is, and not in a short, or bad connection, or even the brain

Re: help!! motor quits
I would be suspecting the ignition module. They can act like that.
Heat them up and they can quit. Taking the power away can reset them.

Re: help!! motor quits
Motocraft ones last usually, Wells ones are iffy right out of the box.
A shaky ground to the body tub can also cause the module to 'fail'.
