The car will start and run fine when at idle and cold. However, as it approaches operating temp, the more grumpy it becomes. When cold, you can increase throttle, but only to a point, and then it will die. Also, if you increase the throttle too fast, it will die. When the engine reaches operating temp, the slightest touch of the throttle will cause it to die. In any case, you can not restart until it has cooled down. Almost acts like it's flooding out. Pressure regulator? Any help would be much appreciated.
