Question
I Have A 1987 AMC Eagle And Have Replaced Everything On It Till I Am Blue In The Face It Runs Out Perfect Till It Gets Hot Then Stalls Out And Dies To Where i Have To Restart it It Starts Right Back Up Please Help!!!1
Before I list the number of things that could cause this condition, please tell me what all you have done to this point.
When does it die? Coming to an idle? Driving down the road? When you restart it, does it start right back up? Or does it crank over a while before starting? Do you see any smoke coming from the tailpipe when you restart it? How many miles on your car?
Sorry about all the questions, but the better information I have, the better my chances of helping you.
