    If my car sits for a few weeks, I have to give it a couple of blasts with starting fluid. It will start and die. Start and die, but eventually I get good gas up from the tank and it is fine. It's also fine if I drive it every few days. It's just this Ethanol they are putting in the gas now that is killing my fun.   :stomp:  Total garbage, and not meant for older cars.    :grinno:

    Sounds like fuel issue..
    but,  If it fires, you release the key to the 'run' position, then it dies, change your ballast resistor.
