Re: Very weird engine stall. 200 89

Would the engine seem to run ok if you kept the rpm's up? Then when you

come to a stop sign, stall right out? Can you keep it running by turning

the idle way up to keep it from stalling?

If you answer yes to those questions, I'd look at the ignition system. i had

a car that was VERY hard to start.....got it started sometimes with

(Many Many) REALLY short

bursts of cranking (unhh unhh............unhh unhh............unhh unhh............unhh unhh............)

then would have to keep it going by keeping the revs up. Finally got

so I couldn't even start it with the convoluted burst method.

Turned out a change of rotor, dist. cap, and wires (of all things!) fixxed the

problem.
