'93-'94 850 GLE 150Kms approx

I've posted before about the engine cutting out on my car, for no reason. It seems that its a fairly common complaint. No one can find the problem and you cant really take the diagnostic machine around when u are driving can u? Has anyone found the answer yet??
I would have been back onto this site, but as luck has it, my computer died as well. Geez, take about the Midas touch!

Two common problems causing the engine to cut out that people unfamiliar with the 850 don't usually find are the ignition switch and the fuel pump relay. The ignition switch can usually be diagnosed by wiggling the key while ther car is running. The fuel pump relay is usually a $50 shot in the dark if it seems likely. There are probably more details if you search on those keywords.
