So last night I too a quick 10 minute drive down I-80 to buy an apple pie. With pie in hand I jumped in the TR6 and back onto the freeway. At 70+ miles per hour my car experienced a dramatic loss of power (began blubbering and misfiring). I coasted over to an exit with the engine still running. At the exit stop sign my car sounded fine, so I proceeded to try to make it home on side streets. I got about one mile before I experienced the same thing. Then about a 1/2 a mile, then 1/4 of a mile. Each time the car would run fine but then all at once begin breaking up. After coasting to a stop, I could continue. Finally the car begin stalling as I coasted to a stop and at last I could no longer get my car to start. That's when I called a flat bed.
This morning the car started right up but didn't really want to idle and sounded a little funny. I should mention that I replaced the rotor and disributor cap last night while on the road, but that made no difference. I'm thinking coil... Any other thoughts?
