The AT inh sw was replaced 3 mos ago.
My SVX has no OEM security .. so, must have shunt.

Is there an explanation for the engine stopping in N and P?
Is there a fix? Could it be using a Bosch relay instead of the Chinese 40amp (81ohm 85-86) relay I got at Autozone?

Thanks, Jim

That relay is electrically the same as the Bosch, so it should do the same job. If it is connected up right, it won't cause any problems.

Does it do this only when the Cruise Control is on or not?

I can see no connection between the lever in N,P, and the engine cutting out. There is no connection to the Ign at this end of the starter system. There is a connection at the Ign switch and at the ECU for the P.N selections, but I can't see why it would cause it to cut the engine.
Of course there may be a separate engine problem.

As the Ign and the Inhibitor switch have been changed, I would have another look at those connections.
