I'm new at this. I have a 1988 XT6 that I abosolutely love (her name is Pearly). I was driving home one night and she died -- ok maybe semi-died!!

 

She just stopped but the lights, radio and everything else worked. What could it be. I got p'd off so I let her sit for over a year. I want her back. Any suggestions for where I might start looking for the problem.

 

Thanks.

Pearly just had a stroke. I'll guess timing belt.

I'm not a mechanic but I don't think so only because it will startup and run for maybe 2 minutes and cut back off.

either fuel related <plugged filter tired fuel pump>

or weak coil so once the coil heats up it can't make spark

what about distributer. I had one go bad like that. just died. after cooling, it would start and run til it got warmed up.

I'm in detroit too, i'm free till i have to go to bed, so any time before 9 give me a call and i can come check it out if you'd like.
