brown wire ? hell the wires on mine are all sorts of colors. when I rewired it I used red,green,blue,purple you name it's under the hood.any way we both are thinking on the same page.the next time it does it if I remove the small back wire on the selonoid and it kills the engine my selonoid is bad.I just wish it would do when I'm at home and not out and about.I hate to have the bowtie poeple see me under the hood in a parking lot. Thanks for the help.
