I drove a TR4 from Oregon to Tucson a few years back, and it kept dying on the freeway, only to start back up again a few minutes later with no apparent problem. Drove me crazy! In Santa Cruz, I disc

I had a weird problem once that was coil related. Over the winter I did some "up-grading" of electrical components on an engine which was running fine at the end of the season. I put a top of the lin

Back in the early 70s, we had a Mk2 Cortina GT for our everyday car. Around town it ran fine, but on certain trips, it would slow and loose power, even at times dying completely, only to start back u

I had a similar problem with an older Mustang. It did not want to rev, would run great when cold, but the longer it ran, the worse it got. I could let it sit and cool for 20 minutes and it was fine.
