my 93 SHO is all messed up. when I first bought it the starter went out then we fixed that, but now something else is wrong with it. sometimes it doesnt start and sometimes it starts but the rpm meter isnt working or some of the other things on the dash. and while u are driving sometimes just for no reason like say i will be in third gear i have been in it for awhile not going up a hill or anything and it just starts killing and starting over and over and over making it shake really bad and no its not too high of a gear cuz it is actually killing and then it wont start back up. i had a friend take a look at it and when u are looking at the engine its in the front right corner where 4 wires plug into something. he would touch that and it would start to die then he would let off and it would start running then he pushed a wire and it died completely but he never unpluged it. and i would turn it back on and the rpms wouldnt be working and he would wiggle it and they would turn on. so do you think that is the problem when im driving wind gets that moving killing it like that. or is there something else wrong with it? please help

Ok,

Front right corner of the car is what side? Usually I assume right is the passenger side, yet I can only think of one 4 wire connection there.

Is this connector buried under the cross-over tube of the intake, and bolted to a round housing? If so this is the CID sensor and from my understanding will not produce the stall conditions you are having. From what I understand the DIS uses the CID to generate the TACH signal (along with the CPS's help).

If this is the driver side, by the air-box, plugged into the intake, then that is your MAF. For me a loose connection on the MAF usually results in a stall when the MAF has been re-connected after being un-plugged.

Could be a few other things on the driver side, like your coil-pack but I'm assuming its the MAF.

Edit: The CPS also has a round 4 pin connector on the passenger side of the intake. So which connector is it and what does it look like?
