Fortunately the car has a new radiator (little over a year old), new plugs, new wires, new cap, new rotor...but, I will check it out for vacuum leaks when the weather warms up (unless it quits before then). There are other things that I'll replace that according to the previous owner's receipts aren't very old as well such as the fuel filter, etc. I'm still not convinced that a sensor, like the TDC sensor wasn't giving out some weird information causing it to be out of time. Maybe I'd be better off selling it based on it's perceived reputation and let some 'gung-ho for foreign cars dope' think they're buying a gem only to find out it's a turd in a jewel box! If I don't do that, I guess I should get AAA so I can have it towed for free. Keep the clues coming, thanks!
