for some reason i'm having an issue with my 440. car will start just fine, but once warmed-up it can just die. today, i had to keep my foot resting on the accelerator to keep it running at stop lights. but, while coasting, i can let off and it will run just fine. volts, oil, temp all good. accelerates fine, just that problem, which is intermittent. when it dies, have to hold foot on gas to start, like it's flooded. but, if i just let it sit and cool down, it will start right up.

not sure where to look on this one...never had this problem before.


'71 Satellite Sebring 440

Is your choke opening??
Is your low idle screw set too low??
Next thing on the list would be a vacuum leak.

Could be vapor lock. Winter blend fuel?
