Re: STALLING

Sure its possible but then again it could be a ton of things. Without any troubleshooting its really just a guess. Does this happen repeatedly or is this the first time this has ever happened and last time its happened?

Re: STALLING

Well its hard to troubleshoot unless the problem exists we really need to narrow down if its a fuel or ignition issue. Next time it dies try spraying some starter fluid into the TB see if it fires. If it dosnt then its probably in the ignition system and we can troubleshoot from there. If you wanted could take apart the distributor and inspect for bad connections and stuff but unless the problem exists its very difficult to find. Do you have the remote coil style distributor or the HEI style with the in cap coil?
