Well true it may not be the direct cause but if a reaction happens everytime, there is some relationship. I am enquiring what that relationship might be.
I drive and when temp guages goes over 200-210 I experience stuttering and the car dies. Car will not restart until 1/2 to 1 hour later. I must assume there is heat involved because it would take that time to dissipate. I smell and see no radiator fluid escaping. It mainly happens at stop and go traffic. If ac is on it happens faster. Just like Dragnet, " Just the facts ma'am"
The temp may be a normal temp for this car. I don't know. I was just curious what that's suppose to be since they are suppose to have a 180 thermostat?
If it's normal temp, then the heat is causing some other problem i.e. coil, fuel heat issue ect. Even if it's high temp not sure how overheating would cause stuttering ect. But, that's why I have you. Or Y'all like we say to ask questions.
So here are my thought:
1) check coil for spark after it was up to 200-210. replace coil if none. Cheap. If it works, bingo
2) doesn't work insulate fuel lines more.
I thinks that's a place to start.
