Almost didn't make it back from lunch today. Stopped at a stop sign and the engine died while it idled. It sat there for about 5 minutes while I poked around under the hood and cranked ocasionally then started right up and ran fine. A few miles later it quit again while I was driving (managed to coast past the railroad tracks.) Again sat for a few minutes then it started. A mile later I pulled into work and it quit again just as I pulled into my parking spot, and wouldn't start, but then I didn't need it.

My only indications are I could hear the fuel pumps run for a second when I turned the ignition on, it cranks fast (good battery) and gives no indication of firing while I crank, and when it quit while I was driving the tach went to zero even though the engine was still turning while I coasted.

I've heard rumors of the OVP doing this kind of stuff, is that the thing behind the battery with a fuse on top?

Anything I can do, check, fix while at work?

I'm expecting an adventurious drive home.
