Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to post but if someone can help that would be awesome!

I am trying to help my brother who has a 1993 Vigor.

It has issues explained below.

#1 - When starting it takes 3-4 cranks to get it to fire.
#2 - Once it starts is runs rough (loping is what I have heard it called). Once it warms up it idles smoothly.
#3 - THE BIGGEST problem. It randomly stalls, usually at a stop sign/light and will not restart until many hours later.

Fuel is getting through, it has spark. What could it be? I suspect maybe the idle air control valve, but not sure. Any ideas?

I see above a similar problem that was fixed by replacing the distributor cap. And, as stated, it is a pain to get to. From diagrams I have seen it looks like there are three bolts on it, the top two are fairly easy to get to. Is there a third, and does anyone have a midget I could borrow to get in there to break it loose? I's right against the firewall.

This is probably one of the worst designed cars ever.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. You can email me directly if you like at mark@chameleonprintsit.com

Thanks, hope someone has a clue as to what is causing these issues.
