re: #211 Slumbering Behemoth

That’s the thing that has me perplexed. Here’s the chain of events:

Last week I started the car and let it idle for 10-15 mins., then drove about two blocks when it stalled, and would not start again. This is at normal operating temp., neither cold nor overheating.

Walk back the next day, check wires and dist. cap, all fine. Still won’t start. Get it towed home.

Sits for a few days, then I replace the fuel filter. It starts fine, I shut it off. Ten minutes later I drive it to two locations, shut it off, starts fine at both locations, normal operating temp. It then stalls again, and won’t start. I give it about three hours, it starts fine and I barely get it into my garage before it stalls again after traveling only a few blocks. Now it refuses to start again.

Coolant level is fine, no overheating.

Jeez. You know it could only be a stab in the dark from here. Has it been hotter where you live lately?
