maverick keeps dying, while driving.

i'll just be cruising down the road at 30 mph, and motor just shuts off, electricity is still there, fans keep on, turn signals work etc.. i have pertronix elec ignition and coil. cap is not cracked, but had a little moisture inside whats looks like oil.. could it be my cap that keeps failing on me, or my solenoid, what could it be?

 

I chased a similar problem before...$100 later I found out the starter solenoid was bad.

 

Also check your fuel filter.

thanks guys. stupid solenoid.

 

Mine has done that a few times and its always carb issues.

 

what kind of carb issues?

 

I had the same problem. It was the blankety-blank petronix. I changed it and no more stalls.

 

yeh those stupid solinoids piss me off too... one time my car wouldnt stop starting!!!

 

Used to happen to me until I changed my coil out. It would get to the point where I would have to stop and wait for it to cool down before I could start it back up again.

 

i just had that last month, had two buy two new ones before i got a good one
