Back in the '80's I took my Buick into the local dealer for intermittent ignition operation. He did just that and didn't mind telling you...."we swap parts till we hit the problem".

As it turned out he didn't fix it and I had to. The problem was the ignition switching transistor had lost it's thermal grease and in go home traffic in the summer with the ac on my wife would have it die on her....she'd call me and had to wait till I got off work and went to her rescue.

By then the car had cooled and the traffic was not stop and go. I'd jump in, crank it up and drive home....no problem. Took awhile to figure it out but a squirt of thermal grease was all it took.
