Weird intermittent issue.
Car is M20 2.7 stroker with W.A.R. chip and MAP conversion. I did not perform these conversions.
Car runs very well most of the time. Occasionally it just dies. I can be cruising on the highway or just driving in a neighborhood. Power just disappears and the engine dies. I'm usually unable to start again for 5 to 10 minutes, it just cranks but doesn't fire. It never happens on short drives, usually only on drives of 45-60 minutes or more. Seems also to happen when the ambient temperature is above 85F/29C, but not when it's colder. I've owned the car for almost a year, and this has happened last summer, and now the spring about 10-15 times. Always allows for restart after the 5-10 rest though.
How do I even test for this being so intermittent? My first thought is something fuel related as there is no excess fuel smell once restarting like there might be if it was a spark issue.
