Continue to Have Intermittent Stalls
A little history first. About three years ago, while driving my car on a level roadway at 40 mph, the car just died. I coasted to a stop and was able to restart the car with no problem and continued on my way. This happened again a few months later while on a more traveled roadway, and I was simply able to dump the clutch after coasting for a few seconds and it fired right back up. The issue started to happen more frequently, and the car was also starting to run rough and act like it was out of fuel. I also noticed a loud whine from my in-tank fuel pump. I pulled the pump, and the inlet was clogged with gunk. At this point, I did a complete fuel and ignition system swap on the car. New tank, lines, filters, EFI (swapped from a Sniper to Inglese EFI stacks), distributor, plug wires, coil, etc. This corrected the fuel issue, but the car was still randomly stalling and has progressively gotten worse to the point that it stalls multiple times each time I take the car out. I have redone all the grounds and that has not corrected the stalling issue. I have a new battery, and the alternator is charging properly. I’m at a loss as to what is causing this issue. When the car stalls, it is just like someone turned off the key. I’ve replaced the ignition switch as well. Also, when the car stalls, the gauges and EFI remain powered on. The only other common component between the original systems and current systems is the wire harness. I’m thinking I may have a bad connection in the harness to the coil, but any other ideas that the community has that I can look at would be appreciated.
