Re: Engine stalls out after starting & idling fine
no electrical symptoms such as cluster dimming or anything of that. car would just shut off and idiot lights would come on.
no CELs or stored codes. its an obd1 ECU with harness.
yes... most of the time when it dies it does not turn over right away.
the times when it was the worst was when it was during a hot day. not sure if that was a coincidence or not. that was before distributor change when it was more intermittent... right now its at a point where it does it everytime the car is started but at varying times after it's started.

Re: Engine stalls out after starting & idling fine
runs what i would call normal... no hesitation, bogging, misfiring none of that...
and when i say turn over... it actually starts for maybe a half second but its such a weak start that it will cut off right away ... that happens if trying to start it right after it dies
