Expert: Kevin Pilotte Date: 7/19/2008 Subject: 88 AMC Eagle that stalls
Question All electrical and fuel lines have been replaced. The car runs good for 5ivve minutes or so than stalls. At first the timing was bad and then it was fixed accordingly, afterwards the problem still continued. If anyone one knows anything in excess about this car please contact this email.
Answer A few questions:
1) When it stalls, does it imediately restart? Does the engine just crank over?
2) When it stalls, what is the temperature of the engine? Cold? Hot?
3) When it stalls, does the engine just shut off, or does the engine shake, stutters, then dies?
4) Can you keep it from stalling by pumping the accelerator pedal?
5) When it stalls, is the engine idling or are you driving?
Please let me know so I can assist you.
