Ok guys, this is my first post ever here..
Ive read, and read, and I cant find anything that perfectly describes my situation..
First of all. When I first crank the B ll, it runs great..
But after around 15 minuets of driving it will suddenly stall. Being a manual, it will start back.. But, if i happen to be stopped when it dies, it stays dead. It will stay dead for at least 30 minuets to an hour... You can crank and crank and crank and nothing happens..
Ive checked the fuel pressure when it dies, and its fine.. Plenty of fuel..
And ive also checked the spark.. Its kind of a yellowish color.. Not the awesome blue that ive been told to look for...
Now, I have taken it to a mechanic before, and he said that my distributor was bad. I just want to know if you guys think he is right.
If you guys have any ideas of something i can check, please let me know.
