Help,

This is a new development with my 1.7 D-jet..... she will "stall" @ odd times
Will not re-start .... trails white smoke & smells rich (while turning-over)
Engine will eventually start, run rough, then be fine, until the next "episode"
Dosen't happen all the time but enough to be a total "Drag" in traffic!
I changed the CHT sender, I do have petronix, but car runs sweet 95%
of the time... happens under load & just sitting @ idle ?

All advise welcome ( including carbs & new dizzy)

Thanks !

- M

turns out what was going on...

it's a cycle...

runs good, then lean....then not at all

i floor it while cranking, it backfired for a bit....started, ran on three cylinders or maybe even two and then ran fine.....until it happened again...

i was taking some ramps back to sears when i hear THAP! WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP....

#1 spark plug shot out of the head....excellent! third time it happened to me....engine was gone.

I started with fuel pump related stuff....didnt get to the electrical things...our very own miles hendrix mentioned checking the fuel pump relay....his turned off every few moments for a very short time...he can tell you...
