88 GL Turbo Problems

[mjohnson]

Car has 1700000 miles on it and has been very dependable. It is a 2 front
wheel drive only. Problem is that just this winter I have 2 morning were I
went to start it and it would continue to stay running, just cuts off. Go
back around mid day and it starts up just fine runs great. This has just
started within a mount ago. Anyone got any ideas what might be the problem.
Thanks

One million seven hundred thousand miles?? I would say that it was a bloody
miracle!!!

The next time the engine does this, do 2 tests. Pull a plug wire and check
for spark. Depressurize the fuel line, reconnect it and check for ther
fuel pump activating. If you have spark and fuel than may want to look at
the IAS.

I would suspect it is a problem with the choke system that is actuated
by vacuum. Check your vacuum lines, particularly where they connect to
the manifold. They like to fail right at the point at which the line
comes off the tube that supports it. It could also be a clogged fuel
filter.
