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?
