Re: IML: 80s EFI timed stalling

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul.  That's good advice and I like it much better than advising I 
sell it. ;)  I don't think it's a loose connection though because it ONLY 
happens within 10 minutes of starting the car and once the car restarts it 
will run all day until you let it cool down again.  I was hoping Dick B. 
would have the answer.  If it weren't for him I probably would be parting 
this car for the benefit of my carbed '83.
