Hi all--

My 1992 has two problems and I'm wondering what's causing them and if they're related:

1.) Hot start problem. After the engine has been warmed up and is turned off, it won't restart until the engine has cooled down, about 30 minutes or so (depending on the weather). After 30-40 minutes, it will restart no problem.

2.) Midway during its warmup cycle, while driving, the engine will suddenly stall. After pulling over, it will restart (last time this happened the check engine light came on).

Here are the pertinent details: 135,000 miles, has recently had spark plugs replaced, as well as rotor and distributor cap and flame trap.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Jeff
