87' R10 TBI 350 shuts off when driving. HeLP
It dies suddenly, as if the key had been shut off (except all the instruments continue showing readings). My truck didn't come equipped with a tach so don't know what does or doesn't happen on that tach send wire of the coil when it dies. If it dies while actually driving at a decent speed...- YakkoWarner
