Intermittent issue with 930

[rangiegaz]

Drove the '82 930 for 100k's last weekend ,but 15k's from home it just suddenly stopped, as if I'd pulled the coil wire. Tried to restart and it spun over easily ,but didn't fire . After about 15 mins. and ready to call truck, I tried again and away she went and didn't miss a beat on the way home, I've started it every day since and parked it in the dark garage with the engine bay exposed and no  sparking visible. I realise hard to diagnose without instruments ,but was wondering  if others have had similar issue or have ideas.

The green wire feed to the distributor is prone to damage on 930.

I’d check the fuel pump relay. 
 

They go flaky for a while before they die.

Didn't cough and splutter like fuel running out ,it stopped dead like no spark. Checked green wire ,but appears from initial inspection ok, but maybe more thorough look required.

Thanks for input

Could be your CDI going bad, it's common if they experience heatsoak from a long drive, or could be a bad connection. From what your describing, it does sound electical, however don't rule out fuel related qwirks. If your keen on working out the issue yourself, head over to the Pelican US forums, much more technical information than what you'll find on here.
