Some Fixes

[Vincent Gelinas]

  Hi, All!

Thank you for the help in helping me locate my hot-start problem.  I've 
since replaced the plugs and wires and that helped a bit.  What helped a 
lot, though, which surprised me, was cleaning the coolant temp sensor.  
It had some deposits on it (time for a coolant flush maybe?) so I took a 
scotch-brite pad to it and made it nice and shiny again.  Bingo, it 
helped a lot.  (S)He didn't stall on the highway after I did that, nor 
did (s)he whilst I was getting on the highway.  She stalled when I came 
off the freeway and went to accelerate back to about 30mph in second 
gear and I felt her/him (not sure of the gender or name yet... haven't 
driven it hard enough to communicate with the car) jerk then stall.  
Good thing I was only a short distance from the shoulder!  After about 
10 seconds I was able to start again and continue home on back roads 
without any more problems.

Anything I might be missing in my fix? Possibly my coil starting to get 
too hot because it's old?  Should I clean all the electrical connectors 
hooking the coil to the harness?

Thanks everyone,

Vincent
