Problem:
My '88 5-speed dies sporadically while driving from 45min to 3+ hours.
The RPM's Drop and it looses power causing me to pull over. (It does not always happen. More often after a rain.) When I flutter the gas pedal it intermittently causes the RPM's to increase and then it falls off. Idles rough and usually dies. Thought it might be water in the tank/lines. Replaced the Fuel Filter numerous times, Installed new tank as well as an in-line Fuel/Water Separator (Seemed to clear it up for a while.) Drained the Separator and no indication of H2O.
Replaced: Coil, Plugs, Wires, Cap/Rotor and waterproofed the Cap. (Cap was dry on the dying occasions.) Cleaned and emery clothed Rotor/Cap contacts. Changed Fuel filters, Drained the Fuel/H2O separator. No H2O. Roadside Triage done with engine off, about 5 min. Engine starts right up and it seems to clear up the problem for a while BUT it returns.
Any Help WILL be greatly appreciated.
I don’t want a F.O.R.D. (Found On Road Dead)
