The engine died while driving home today. While trying to accelerate in
2nd or 3rd the engine lost power all of a sudden.  I stop and gave it
full gas and it would rev a little then die and then rev a little until
it finally died.  It didn't sound like it was missing, but rather
running normal then stopped running for a second then started again. I
turned of the engine and immediately restarted and it ran fine (BTW the
engine was warm).   Not sure where to look??

I also took a look at the engine and found that the air/vacuum hoses are
horrendous.  It looks like it was a NASA project on building an engine
with straws and scotch tape.  Long story short don't know if it has any
bering on the problem above, but is there a simple way to check
connections for vacuum leaks.  I know for example, pressure leaks could
be seen with soapy water.

Any advice??

Thanks,

David

PS If my multitude of emails seems odd, I am trying to work out all the
bugs before I return to RI from TX!!
