Interesting problem, please help. My 1994 Formula is randomly cutting out and backfires once before returning to normal. My guess it that the Opti is going. I have wiggled wires with no results. Tell me what you guys think.
dude you said it yourself,......lets see ...what makes an engine start to backfire and quit running.....IGNITION check not wiggle engine harness, check your opti wiring harness,grounds, plug wires, coil, plugs opti vent lines ,have you changed optis? have you recently tuned it up? how many miles? ect ect ect ect

I replaced the Opti less than 10K miles ago, along with plugs and wires. I have checked all my harness connectors and grounds to make sure they are in place properly.
It feels like someone reaches over and turns off my key, then turns it right back on. It also has to crank a bit to start sometimes.

Actually, I now remember replacing the coil when I did my Opti as it was an original coil. The tip to the coil wire was badly corroded. The car also had original shocks at 175,000 miles.
I know a guy that will scan the car for me. Onward to the next step.
