Hi... this sounds exactly like what I just am getting into. This one stalled on me twice after picking it up ( it belongs to my mother-in-law, so I HAVE to fix it), once on the freeway... started up after about 5 minutes..., and then I shut it off in the driveway of the shop to open the door... no restart..., pushed it in, let it sit overnight... starts and runs just fine. Here we go.

Try ebay for an EZL if that's what you think it is. No point paying alot of money with trial and error if you are convinced it is the EZL. They go for around 100 bucks on ebay if wait long enough.

When changing all of your ignition components did this include a ignition switch?

rickyb,

where is your geographical location? Are you here in Los Angeles? If you are, I have a real good Mechanic that had solve problems for me in the past...problems that have stomp me. He is very straight forward and honest, on top of that, very reasonable for the work that he do. Keep in touch!
