<VV> RE: VirtualVairs : Ignition and Electrical Questions

[Paula Tilsley]

Problem: 

The car starts fine, idles fine, has great power and throttle 
response. After I drive it for a number of miles (20 to 30) the car 
just quits. If I let it cool down for about 10 minutes it starts up 
fine and all is good till it warms up again and the sit and cool 
cycle starts again. I don't think this is vapor lock since I can  see
a stream of gas from the accelerator pumps even when the car  does
not want to start. Would this indicate a bad coil? I do not  know the
age of the coil. Should I have not run 12V to the coil and  ignition?

I had a similar problem with an old Opel.  It turned out to be the
voltage regulator.  You may want to check that.
