TT,

The next time this occurs, be prepared to investigate right away. Get a spark tester and keep it in the car, or carry a spare spark plug to check spark as soon as this occurs.

You should also be prepared to test fuel pressure or flow when this happens, so you can determine the cause of the problem. There are so many possibilities that isolating a system in this manner will save a lot of time and frustration.

I'm guessing that you have a 173 CID with TBI, correct?
