- Tue May 27, 2008 6:37 pm #56759 I've been having an awkward problem.


The engine will crank up fine, car will start fine. When it is warm, sometimes the car during idle will just turn off.

Cap and Rotor are still recently new and so is the spark plugs. Any Ideas? Maybe sparkplug wires?

I'll try and find out what it was exactly, was supposed to be a flaw in more then a few OBD1 ECU's.

Tried swapping the distributor already?
