I have a question for all of you who are mechanically inclined. We have this car, an old PT Cruiser, that has a strange problem. it's really not worth spending much money on for parts or a mechanic.
It will start and run fine, for about 5 minutes until it warms up. Then it sputters and dies, and won't start again until it's completely cooled down.
It actually doesn't belong to me. Friends of ours are going to give it to my daughter if we can get it running right. I'm thinking a fuel problem, he thinks electrical. Any ideas for where to start troubleshooting?
