Hello from Carol Stream IL (1981 Spider 2000)

Post by chuckcloutier »

Mine actually lives in Pentwater Michigan right now. Bought it about a month ago and am still going through everything. What a fun, fun car. Love this forum/site, very helpful. The first week I had it, it would run great for 4 days and then stall on the 5th and take 5 minutes to start back up. I am going through vacuum hoses and am looking suspiciously at the coil. Any similar experiences?

It may be a clogged fuel filter. Post your question in Engine and Tuning for a better chance of help. BTW, welcome to the forum! Got pics?
