opti spark going?
What are the symtoms of an opti spark going bad?
Its 94 w/13000 miles it sits alot.
I start it during winter,but now i have a problem.
It runs fine for 15 minutes then starts missing and stalls out.
Go to restart has trouble.
Battery is fine gas is fresh & cleaned intake.
I also checked all injectors with ohm meter cold & after running.(ok)
Tks, for any help

What symtoms are you having?
I ask because there are many things on these engines that can cause minor fuel and spark issues. Too often, people go directly to the opti, when it may very well not be the issue. Not to say that it isn't, but it is usally the last in line for diagnoses of a problem. So it helps to know what is happening before anyone can suggest a solution.

With my 1992, I would get intermittent issues of the car not wanting to start when warm, and then finally the car would start and then die immediately. I was using the car as a daily driver at the time in the North East so I'm not sure if rain and yes - snow was a factor.
