Two weekends ago my own Mark stranded me on the Minnesota/Iowa border with strikingly similar issues. The wiring harness for the crank position sensor had become crushed between my 1.25" sway bar and a pointy part of the A/C compressor, shorting one of the two wires to ground. However in my case, I was not blowing a fuse. (or I did, and never noticed.. but that seems unlikely)

Regardless, I'd be inclined to think that some part of that wiring harness has been damaged, or perhaps one of the ignition coils has failed? In my own experience, a bad coil has never resulted in anything worse than a miss... Still, they're easy to check so I'd start there and hope you don't find evidence of squirrels having taken up residence in your engine compartment in the process.

Found it !! Tixer..you are right on the money..ended up being a crushed coil wire..when last serviced for another coil..the IDIOT mechanic crushed the #1 coil wires when he put the cover back on...he actually left the whole line of wires outside the bank of coils Duhhhh !! She up and running again..still a little slip 1 to 2nd on the tranny...getting that flush done this week also...Thanks soooooooooooooo much...Ellen:thumbsup:

Wow. I'm so glad it was an easy fix!

I'll claim it was a lucky guess, but still I am happy to have helped. Have a great evening Ellen!
