A very Weird Problem.....

Hey Guys, I got a 305TBI Camaro, I drive for a while in the car, Lets say about 30 35 min. Sometimes when I stop the car stalls and wont start again for about 30 min. The other night I stalled on a major road, alomst got hit by a tracter Trailer. What could be the problem, after about 30 min starts right up and runs great, Did the car overheat? I dont know what the problem is. Thanks

Had the stalling problem too. My gremlin was the CTS. It could be a number of problems though.

Well the above posts are all correct... its either a timing or fuel problem, but you need to narrow down which one unless you wanna just throw parts at the car. Drive it up and down your street 100 times until it acts up or something, and yank a plug wire and see if you are getting spark or not. Its really hard to diagnose an intermittent problem on a car without just randomly replacing parts unless you check it while its having the problem.
