Subject:      My 85 is Stuttering
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hiya All!

I have a problem with my 85.. 1.9l . I'm having problems with (what I'm assumming) the ignition? I never had the experience of a hall unit going bad. Can some one give me some insight on tell-tales for it failing. My van is fine at start up and ususally with putting around town. BUT I'm having problems with it when she runs hot... 3/4 on the temp gauge... She starts to sputter and usually stall..then I cant start her back up till she cools down alittle. If I try.. the starter has a hard time turning her over.. THis is what i have done thus far..

Checked/cleaned grounds replace o2 sensor replace temp sensor replace AFM with factory rebuilt new cap rotor plugs changed fuel filter set timing at TDC... Problem occurs more frequently at 5 degrees BTD Idle speed is at 850 Replaced all hose in engine bay... ( distrubutor, spider, kick up solenoids)

Like I said, She wants to die and not start when hot...so i pull to the shoulder and try not to give the engine too much load... Seems like when there is a load, it also getts worse.. then if i do get lucky... I'll hit ever green light... so maybe 5 minutes of constant moving.... she goes back down to normal.....

So now i thnk its the Hall Module because it has a heat sink and my problem only occurs when its hot! Anyone wanna help me out on this? PLEASE EMAIL ME PERSONALLY AT KAZZPAR007@AOL.com .. PLEASE!!!! Thanks for listening... Tom

Also.. I need dingle balls and a steer horn to mount on my van. Maybe a Mother Mary curtain?? anyone know where to find??
