I was driving today, pulled the car into the Target parking lot, and the car started sputtering. Kept sputtering/revving up a little/cutting out for a second until it finally shut off.
Tried to start it, ran for a few seconds, sputter, died again
Symptoms seemed like a fuel problem but I watched gas going down the carb/accel pumps worked but it would still die. Must be electrical.
Switched-out the HEI module and it works fine now. Dead module. No big deal, that module has worked a good 8+ years for me and I had a spare.
My question is I'm wondering is this a normal symptom of how HEI modules die? I was under the impression that since it's electronic, if it's dead, it's dead, and doesn't try to run the car in short bursts...
