I believe the OPC is the source of my random engine shutdown. There are four leads red, black, yellow and red/white. Can anyone shed light on which are the input wires and which are the output?
The OPC timer relay was indeed the problem. I replaced it this A.M. and all seems fine for now. I only wish that I had some way to bench test individual components and this whole process would have consumed less time and fewer $$.I believe the OPC is the source of my random engine shutdown.

Could you please provide the part number of the part you changed.The OPC timer relay was indeed the problem. I replaced it this A.M. and all seems fine for now. I only wish that I had some way to bench test individual components and this whole process would have consumed less time and fewer $$.
I realize this is an old thread, but symptom wise I believe I have the same issue.Glad you got it fixed. Per the WSM, page 9-S38:
"Checking OPC Timer
1. Remove the timer. (OPC timer is located behind the panel)
2. Connect jumper leads across the battery positive terminal and
the timer 3 terminal, and across the battery positive terminal and
the timer 4 terminal.
3. Connect jumper leads across the battery negative terminal and
the timer 2 terminal, and across the battery negative terminal and
the bulb terminal.
4. Connect jumper lead across the timer 1 terminal and the bulb
terminal.
5. The bulb lights up when disconnecting a jumper lead from the 3
terminal 0.7 to 1.3 seconds late, the timer is proper.

Looking at the OPC Timer Relay with the connector lock on the bottom, the relay terminals are as follows:
