Went for a drive today since I finally got a day off on a weekend that it's not raining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Had a blast for a good 45min cruising around some back roads. While driving It backfired a few times and had a slight hesitation from coming from a complete stop. It also died once or twice but it didn't have to bad an issue starting back up.

When I got back home it sat for maybe 2 min and then when I tried to move it, it didn't want to start. It was turning over just fine just didn't want to fire up.

It's a 1.8 fuel injected 75. Was told when I bought it, it was upgraded to a 2.0 but I have no proof of that. I also have a huge hole in my muffler which brings me to my next question. I took a muffler from my 72 parts car and was wondering if I can just bolt it right on to replace it.

Any help on where I should start looking for my problem would be much appreciated. I'm sure I'm being a bit vague with my issues but like I said I'm a complete newbie and learning as I go.
