Ron, I've inadvertently created a divergence in this thread by creating the "MSD battery drain" thread. Due to a series of events, I've gone from the fuel filter (replaced) to the MSD (seems to be OK) to the ignition switch. Yesterday, while my car was parked outside my office for 8 hours or so, the battery was completely drained despite nothing being left on. I jumped it from another car and it immediately started and made the 30 minute ride back to the house with a full charge (I did experience the dreaded "momentary power outtage during acceleration" about half way home). It always idles great and accellerates perfectly throughout the RPM range. The ignition switch intermittency prognosis was offered a couple of times. Now I'm listening.
