Hi there my car is stranded in a lot fortunately in walking distance to my house.

Symptoms are that it seems to start and run fin when cold about 10-15 minutes. It will then stall and then I cannot start the car. It does not smell like it is flood (actually cannot smell any fuel) The last time this happened it sat over night and then it started with no problems.

I just changed the points although I do not think that was the problem I had never seen points that were not completely solid contact area the ones installed had a hole in the center so I replaced them.

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Guys, I think it may be the filter, the pump runs for a second or two when the key is set the run position. All contacts have been cleaned also have a new FI wiring harness and CHT in place. I will check the relay board again.

Had AAA tow the car last night so she is safely in the garage...

Will update you when I find the problem

BTW, Admin's can you you move this thread to the garage, I accidentally posted it here last night.

Regards,
Dan
