My Dad has been driving my 92 turbo with 260,000 miles for the last couple of years. Last week he started reporting problems. First the car died while he was driving. Eventually it just started again. A few days later it would turn over, but not start. After a while it started, but died again. He kept trying and it started again and ran fine for a few days. Then this morning he got to work turned off the ignition and the car kept running After a few minutes it just turned off by itself.
