IML: 80s EFI timed stalling



I put a new Mopar mini-starter in my '82 and it now starts every time. Knock wood. It does seem to crank slightly long which may have contributed to the demise of the prior starter and the missing tooth on the flywheel. Before I parked it to do the starter, I began having a problem where the car would stall after 5-10 minutes and not re-start. The car stalls like you flipped a switch. After a short wait of an additional 5 minutes or so, it will usually re-start and run fine for the rest of the day. I seem to remember this problem cropping up with one or two 80s Imperials - Rolland? - but I don't remember seeing the solution and haven't been able to find the solution in the archives. Help, please! Dick B., Bob, anybody?

It seems to be ignition because the fuel drizzle trick does not help and one time I pulled a plug wire and wasn't getting spark, but it's so intermittent it's hard to be sure. I plan to have the distributor pick-up changed and I'm crossing my fingers that is it.

It happened to me in the evening rush hour in the left lane of the Van Wyck. If you've ever been on the Van Wyck, you know why I don't want to relive the moment.

Thanks again everybody,
Rob
