78,000 miles, dad is the original owner, 5sp, upstate NY climate, second time its happend.
The vehicle starts up fine, idle/choke working ect. During the warm up cycle, between cold and normal engine temp, while driving for 2 miles it stalls. The first time it started right up but yesterday it had to be towed home. Dad poured a shotglass amount of gas down the carb and nothing. He was alone and couldnt check for spark. After 1 hr the vehicle was cold and it started and idled fine. He waited till the temp reach normal and was able to drive with no problems. I wont be upstate for 2 weeks so I asked a couple of techs and got a different answers, most dreaded these vacuum hosed, non-obd2 hondas. I know you need gas air spark but for the vehicle to not start when not at normal temp and not ice cold. Wtf?? Any suggestions? Thank You.
