[6pack] I think my coil died

[Henri Lefebvre]

John,

A friend was describing  similar symptoms with his TR6 this weekend.
In his case the fuel line was almost completely plugged.
When the car was cooling, the fuel would slowly refill the line, fuel
filter and fuel pump then start and run for a while. As soon as he
would push it hard to accelerate it would stumble then die. Cool down,
start all over. Just a thought in case it might be a fuel issue!
