I'm working on a 1989 TC...  When the car sits for a few days, the battery goes dead.  Also, sometimes when I'm driving the car, the engine will just shut off.  In order for the car to start again, I have to wait 5-10 minutes and it will again start/run normally.  Any know issues with the TC regarding a draining battery and random engine shut offs?   Thanks...

You have something draining you battery when it si shut down. Remove the neg cable and put a volt meter between the terminals and see what it reads.

It should not be more than .020 volts.

The other problem sound like a heat caused shut down. Check your coils and your ICM.
