starts, then stalls, then no start 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Nick on  Wed Nov 1 03:49 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Ok, yesterday morning I went to go to work and the car started up then instantly stalled out. Must note that when it started the first time, it seemed to have problems getting up to idle speed. I tried restarting it but the engine wouldn't fire up. It was cranking and cranking, but the engine would not start. 8 hours when I came home from work, the car started up instantly and ran normally. This morning, the same thing happens. Starts right up, then stalls out. Was able to get it restarted again, but then stalls out and this time, can't be restarted. I will go home this afternoon and see if it starts up again. What could this be? Check the plug wires (ok) and put new plugs put in last weekend. Please help, can't take this anymore, need my car to be reliable again.

-Nick
