So I am new to this forum and I wondering if anyone can help me with this issue.
I just had an interesting incident with my 1987 GMC Jimmy (Blazer/K-5 style with a fuel injected Chevy 350 cubic inch small block crate motor) today. I was driving on the freeway, got off, and the engine died. No sputter or anything that would suggest fuel issues, it just stops dead right there and will not move. So I shift it to park, turn it off, and it restarts just fine. I get going a little bit and it dies again. When I restart, the check engine light goes off, so the code gets re-set.
Needless to say, AAA came to my rescue. Luckily, I have AAA Plus because it was a 16 mile tow. (FYI out of city tows get helped earlier because the drivers get better commission).
I am thinking this is some sort of electrical issue, but I have no idea where to start. If anyone has had a similar incident and could help shed some insight into this matter, it would be much appreciated.
