ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY CAR STALLS AT ANY SPEED IN HOT WEATHER AFTER DRIVING OVER 20-25 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN DOING ERRANDS INVOLVING SEVERAL STOPS AND STARTS. THE CAR HAS STALLED AT DANGEROUS IMTERSECTIONS REQUIRING THE ASSISTANCE OF GOOD SAMARITANS TO PUSH THE CAR TO A SAFER LOCATION, OUT OF HARM'S WAY. EACH TIME THE CAR STALLS, I HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST 30 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AGAIN, SO I CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED ON 2 OCCASIONS TO A SERVICE STATION, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE REASON FOR THESE STALLING EPISODES. WHAT CAN I DO?*AK
