[T3] intermittent cutout

[Chris Sheridan]

Hi All,

Last night I was coming home after driving the car all week as daily
commuter with no issues. was going about 55 and starting feeling and
intermittent cut out. Engine would just stop for a second then resume. No
backfires, no coughing, just a pause in operation. I made it home without
issue. This morning, driving to work, it began doing the same thing, except
more pronounced and more frequent to the point where I had to turn around
and drive home, with fairly consistent cutting out 60% of the time and
essentially limping home. It appearred to be much more pronounced when
heading up a hill as opposed to on level ground. It was very very similar to
the issue I had a couple weeks ago when I had hooked up a dormant gas line
to my cold start valve and supposedly was flooding the motor until I
disconnected it.

It seems like a fuel delivery problem of some kind, either too much or too
little. I need to trouble shoot the issue tomorrow - any feedback would be
most welcome.

Thanks,

Chris Sheridan
