warm start problem 700

posted by  someone claiming to be tobinbg@make-peace.org on  Mon May 16 14:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My '86 760T wagon died this afternoon!
It was having a hard time starting when warm/hot lately.
This afternoon it was about 85F outside and, after driving 1/4 mile, it started running very rough (like on one cylinder) and eventually died, stranding me. It would not re-start.

In the past week, I've replaced the spark plugs, rotor, and distributor cap. This improved running but not hot starting.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks

While cranking, observe the tach - should jump a little. If not, suspect the hall sensor in the dist. If it jumps, listen for the fuel pump as you release the key. If silent suspect the fuel pump relay. These are both common failures. Beyond this, read the FAQ section. Regards.
