interesting discovery
#1
This past weekend I moved to a new place. We loaded up all our **** and I decided to drive the fc to the new place since noone else has driven it yet and I am familiar with it. I've never driven it more than 10 minutes or 3 miles at a time since I got it, due to the engine dying when warm. Well about half way to the new place I came to a red light and stopped. The car stayed running and ran solid all the way to the new apartment. I have tried this again and found that once the car gets completely warmed up it will stay running It's just keeping it running long enough to get warmed up thats the problem. Any suggestions on what to check or what could remedy this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

NORMALLY when you have low compression, it's more of an issue once the car is warmed up. I've had several with compression so low that it would only start when the car was completely cold. Once it warmed up.... you better not switch it off.
I think it's an idle issue myself.
