died at junction, but fine now?

Post by montrose » Wed Jan 22, 2014 1:36 pm

1995 TA, LT1, started fine, warmed up, drove 1 mile and died when i stopped at junction. Turned key and pumped gas like crazy for about 10 tries. It started, and drove fine . did about 40 miles and parked it. Started right up next day and drove fine again. Any ideas why it would just die and then work ok?

Thanks John. Was thinking that, but I'm not too mechanical. Does it need replaced, or is it just all this rain .

hopefully it is a one off with all the rain, you could try spraying WD40 on it and keep your fingers crossed
