420 Suddenly Dies

Hey Guys,

A weird thing has just started with my wife's 89 420 SEL.

So far it has died 5 times, and restarts instantly. This week, 4 times while the engine has run about 10 minutes, it suddenly dies, dead. It restarts instantly, no spiting or sputtering, starts and runs smooth as silk. Today whle driving for about an hour and doing about 35 mph it dies. She pulled over quickly and it starts instantly and ran for another hour till we got home without any problems.

It's weird, no dash light to say whats wrong. when it dies suddenly, there are no dash error lights. The most visible is the economy gauge which falls quickly, but thats all.

Any ideas?
