I have an 87 GXL Automatic. Recently i have been haivng problems with it dying randomly. (its done it twice) When it dies....it floods itself out and then wont restart for hours. I know the pulling of the fuse trick and all the other stuff. When I start it up the next day it ran fine for about 2 months and then did it again.

Shortly after I started getting a rough idle from it and when i drive it I cant get it above 20 mph. If i give it gas, it dies. I changed the plugs and the wires and it didnt help. The next step is my soleniod resister switch i guess.

I would really like some suggestions to fix this problem. I have had this car 3 years and am quite attached to it and miss driving it. Not to mention the $$ ive put into it.

Fuel pump inlet filter...

TPS could be an issue...I had a problem with mine on my FD, and got similar symptoms. Other than that I would say fuel issues. Leaky injectors seem to be common, though they don't really explain the rough idle...only the flooding.

start with fuel pump filter and go from there

rough idle could be caused by low fuel pressure, from a clogged filter. if the injectors dont see the proper pressure, atomisation wont occur normally, did you see a reduced idle too?

does the car rev freely? rough idle and low speeds can sometimes indicate a blown motor unfortunatly. make an ecu code puller, see if theres anything obviously wrong.
