John,
Tell us about your local weather, do you keep your car in a cool
parkade, is it very humid, how long have you had the car, what's the
mileage, have you changed the timing belt recently, any other service we
should know about, how do you figure it's overheating, etc. ?????????

Respond to group.

Weather is not a factor. The car was just bought by my sister. She got it
for $200 bux. SHe bought it as a beater, and isn't expecting a perfectily
running car or anything, although, except for the stalling issue, the car
runs GREAT! I started it about a month ago, and weather was about 20
Celcius. Started it yesterday, and drove it to my house, with temp about
teh same. about 250,000KM's on it now. It does need a basic tune up, but
other than that, drivetrain wise, she seems to be in very good condition.
I don't think the car in general is overheating. I'm thinking the coil
itself may be overheating, because like I said, It stalls after about 5
minutes after a cold start, then after that stalls as soon as gas is let
off.
