I have an 88 GTU and on saturday I checked my oil level and I had about a qaurt and I checked the coolant a nd the resovoir was empty. So I filled both the coolant and the oil. Then yesterday I drove my car 10 miles to work and it was fine, but when I took my break I took a drive down the street. When I started the car I drove it 20 feet the it just cut off, I started it back up it started to sputter then it cut off again. And it did the same thing 3 more times. When I got back to work I was told that it might be the fuel filter so I changed it, after that it started fine and idled fine. But at the end of the day when it was time to leave the car started but when I went to drive up the hill to get to the street it cut off and would not start again, so I pushed it back to my job. And thats where it sits now. So can anyone confirm from this that maybe the apex seal is blown or something like that, I just need to know what my next move should be. Thanks for reading this and thanks for the help.

 

Maybe it's the fuel pump, what does the coolant smell like?

 

i'd say it could be a minimum of about.... 10,000 different things. Is your fuel pump working? is the motor getting spark? injectors firing? start there

 

a blown apex seal would not be an intermittent thing.

using a large amount of coolant or oil would be a bad thing and indicate a failed seal (but probably not an apex seal) if there were not drips on the ground or leaks evident.
