Hello. I have 2 issues that may or may not be related.
1) This car will idle at first, but after driving will not. For instance when approaching a stop light with the clutch in, it will stall if you do not keep your foot on the accelerator.
2) This car (since I've owned it) has always seemed to run very very hot. After driving for approx 15 mins, if you turn the ignition off (or stall out) the car will not restart until it's had sufficient time to 'cool down'. After that, it starts and away you go. It never seems to stall because of this issue though. Meaning I can probably drive for an hour as long as the ignition is never turned off.
Is it possible the fuel is boiling? In any case, am I missing some part of the cooling system or what else could cause this.?
