mk1 stops after 8 miles everytime ?

Post by Keith&Angie »

hi folks wonder if someone can help , i transplanted an AEGZE in to an uk N/A 89 about two years ago , no problems since , untill last week when after filling up it wouldnt restart , turning over fine, sounds like its about to catch but dosent , there is a good spark and fuel getting throgh i think . not giving it any throtle , so not flooded , after about 30 - 60 mins it starts again and providing i dont turn it off runs perfectly. i ve changed coil, plugs , leads , dizzi cap . amplifier igniteor and fuel efi relays next . From fully cold it starts everytime and will run fine for 8 - 9 miles then dies ,(done this 5 times shame i live 9 miles for my work) feels like fuel starvation, then wont start again so could be whatever it is due to heat build up , but where? any ideas desperately tried ..... thanks in advance hopefully. Keith
