Subject:Van dies during warming up
From:Gary McEachern
Date:Sun, 19 Sep 1999 02:02:45 EDT

My new 87 has been acting up during warmup for the past week. I started
noticing it cutting out for 10-20 seconds as it was warming up on the
highway. After this it would kick in and run OK.  Tonight it died while
parking and it wouldn't readily restart.

It starts OK when cold. It runs OK when warm. It seems to go through a
certain temperature during warmup where it is appears to be starved of gas
(or spark). Any suggestions?

I changed the gas filter. Could this be caused by a bad temp sensor?
