Jeeps and dubs and everything's nice...

i had a similar problem with my 94 gls. until one day she would not
start after a stall. after my mechanic spent 2 weeks on trouble
shooting, it turned out that the computer has "rotted" making
intermitant connection. when it was warm, it was worse. look into that
first, i say...
