Symptoms: car runs fine for a while, then suddenly loses power (won't rev past 4K), as in no timing advance.  A few times, it actually died, leading me to believe it's a fuel problem.  The thing is, every fuel component is less than 40K miles old, even the fuel distributor.  The only thing is the injectors, but I've had several tanks of Jectron to no avail.  Seems electrical anyway - no stuttering.
