I'm the proud owner of a fugitive from a junk yard, a 1987 Chrysler LeBaron,
2.5L, 5 speed (hey, it's paid for).

Beginning a year or so again, while cruising along occasionally it would
suddenly jerk,
like a couple of cylinders misfired or failed to fire, and then continue
along.  Of late
instead of that jerk, it dies completely.  No warning, no symptom, no
trouble light and
no trouble codes in the computer according to the dealer.  Usually, cycling
the ignition
key off and back on will get it going again.  On (thus far) two occasions
nothing would
restart it and I had to have it towed in to the dealership; eventually it
would decide to
behave.  The dealer has no idea what the problem is, all they've done is
clean contacts
(they did that the first time, too) and test drive it.

My thinking is that somehow power to the car's computer is quitting, which causes the
ignition to quit.  If it were any sensor that's causing the computer to
kill the ignition
there'd be a trouble code of some sort stored and there isn't.

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?
