Hey again everyone... I just posted a message a couple days ago about my odd issue I've been having with a bad electrical connection or possibly bad battery wire giving me problems with starting my car... Anyways... now I have another problem. After playing around with my battery cables and connections again I decided to take it on a little trip around the area because it seemed to be working alright. I got about 15 miles from home and it started dying as I was driving down the highway... it would start to stall and die but it would get spark again and stay running almost instantly... so I pulled off and turned around and started for home... and it got extremely bad to the point where I didn't think I would get back home. I would pull up to a stop sign or light and it would kill, I would be accelerating and it would kill, I would be slowing down for traffic and it would kill. So I pulled off the road and checked my coil wire etc and didn't see anything out of the ordinary that jumped out at me. I did make it back home, but the entire rest of the way it would seem to lose all spark and almost shut off but then regain spark and stay running. Coil problem? Anything else to look at?
BTW, it's an '87 GT... just over 50,000 actual miles... really clean under the hood and all wires have been replaced, coil and plug wires within the past year, all connections are good.
Thanks guys!
