75 fuel injected 1.8. It's happened twice now. Pull into the gas station, fill up, then the car won't start. It will turn over but not catch. Both times, I waited a half hour and then it fired right up. Any common things I can check?

Assuming it is a starter heat issue the six cylinder engines (and starters) have the same glitch. Short of adding a relay I simply got tired of it and installed a high-torque starter... end of problem.
But truth be told the relay is a more elegant solution and saves your ignition switch's (start-position) contacts over time. |
