Car misses and sometimes dies after rough road adventure? 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be GTJordan on  Mon May 23 13:32 CST 2005 [RELATED]

So a few months back I noticed when I was going downhill the car would feel like it died, would fall to 1000 RPM and then come back up, either by itself or a little tap on the gas.

Fast forward to last night. The girlfriend and I drive to the top of Mount Lolo. Nice drive. But it was rough. Ran like a charm to the top. As soon as we are headed down the hill I noticed that the car was dying. Like it was out of gas, then not out. etc etc.

I figure two things. Its ignition or Spark. So today I checked the plug wires and coil wire. All tight. Go for a drive, fine. Then later in the day coming home from the gym I jam on the brakes and the car died at the light. Fires right up easily.

Fuel pump isn't noisy, and runs fine and dandy (maybe a bit rich) otherwise.

Going on a road trip this weekend, would like to get somthing sorted out.

Thanks for any hints or pointers

Jordan
