My car runs good when it's cold but stalls once it warms up? ... In this situation, you can usually re-start the engine once it has hada chance to cool back ... it'll fill-up and exits fuel right up and out the vent tube which dumps it down the middle of ...
Jun 28, 2010 - Car starts and after warmed up.. it dies! ... but if i let it sits for awhile till the engine is cool down it starts right up but after its warmed up.. it dies.
Being that this vehicle is a 1988 it is most likely still using an electric choke. When your vehicle is cold (even just not warm enough) it needs a richer fuel/air mixture to start which is what the choke is there for. When you turn the key the choke will automatically shut so the suction from the engine will pull fuel from all circuits of the carb. Anyways.. long story short for some reason it would seem your choke isnt closing as it should. This is generally just a hot wire thats connected to your carb.... maybe a short maybe its stuck open for some reason.. idk but that is where you should focus your attention. Hope this helps.
well i had that same issue in my blazer. In the mornings i would let it warm up and sometimes it would be ok but then progressively started to get worse. It would hesitate but once i drove it... it would be fine. it turned out to be the coil and the distributor cap. I replaced both and it ran great afterwards. I even tested out the by not letting it warm all the way up in the morning and still it was fine. Hope this helps.
Change the coolant sensor located close to the thermostat housing. This is easy but do not over tighten it. You will have the same problem if you do. Tighten till it does not leak only.Good luck!
Try changing the fuel filter and get the glow plugs checked or replaced .Diesel goes a little waxey in colder weather making it harder to go through the filter . Hope this helps.
