I started working on this mystery a bit ago - have not had much time but did make some progress. Car was running perfectly well; parked in garage a couple of weeks then would not start, but would turn over like a champ. I put an inline spark plug tester on plug nearest firewall and the car start and ran -- until the tester burned out. Replaced rotor and cap (rotor was discolored almost hard black). Car then started and ran... for maybe 5 minutes. Conked out, would not restart. Left it for ten minutes and tried again; it restarted. (Which was handy as I had parked it in the drive, blocking other cars.) It is back in garage but I am not sure... why would it start, run for awhile, then fail and then later restart? What part is going-gone bad? I plan to replace coil next, anyone have another idea?
