and had a little problem. I pulled up to a stop light and while waiting for the light to change the engine stalled. It just flat-lined- no stumble or any warning it was going to die out at all!
I'm thinking okay what's happening now? I tried to restart it but no good, the fires were out and not co-operating. I pushed it off to the side of the road and went to troubleshooting. It did not act like it ran out of fuel although I know I have a little crap in the fuel tank. I thought maybe I have clogged fuel line. Then I reached over and touched the ignition coil with my hand and it was way to hot to the touch. I have a point type distributor with an Accel points eliminator module installed and matching ignition coil. Now I don't know if it stalled because of the coil overheating or if it ran out of fuel due to a fuel clog.
After a few minutes I was able to restart the engine and I drove back home no problems at all.
That does not mean there is not a problem on the horizon for me with it though.
So I guess I have two things to repair, clean my fuel tank, change my fuel filter, clear the fuel lines and figure out why my ignition coil gets hot enough to BBQ on.
