1996 Celi GT Hatch (Manual)
After it gets good and warmed up (not right off the bat), the motor skips & stutters like crazy. Then, if I let the RPMs drop, it just quits...and it won't start up until it's sat and cooled down for about an hour. This makes for a lousy commute. In the last week, it's had a tune up w/ plugs, wires, regulator, & dist. cap. The mechanic tried a new coil & ignitor on it, but no change. Any ideas? I sure appreciate any help.

on a hot engine do a cylinder balance test. start killing ignition to one cylinder at a time until you find the one or 2 that do not affect the idle.
