I think Lightweight Bob nailed it with the terminals and the ecm reseat. I went 250 miles without a shut down. I would have had from 3 to 5 shutdowns before working on it. I didn't get much on the battery terminals. But got about a quarter turn on the negative terminal to the frame. The ecm connection seemed loose. I unplugged and plugged it back in about five times. Then connected it and gave it an extra squezze. I can't say for sure, but if I had to guess, I would put the blame on the ecm plug. Even with the keeper clip on, it had play in it. Anyway, thank you, Lightweight Bob.

just stumbled on it after having the fuel system apart for no good reason.
