You need to see if the trailing side is firing when you are having the restart problem. Is the tach moving when you are cranking it after it shuts off?

Is it running really rich? Maybe the plugs are getting covered with soot from a rich idle mixture...

I would not dare to bring that car on the trip. You better rent a car. We had people all the time come to the mechanic shop that were out of town and couldnt get back.
