my 1988 Chevy SprintMetro’s motor has started to die after it has warmed up. I took it into a reputable shop and they cleaned the choke and replaced the air filter, fuel filter, and added a fuel treatment. They said the oil was dirty and advised oil change & a new oil filter. That has since been done. They said it would go further, but it would still stall. They are right. It goes a bit longer time - but it still stalls after it has warmed up. It has 92,000 miles. Any ideas of what the problem might be? ---

When was the last time it had maintenance, like plugs and plug wires, fuel filter. How about the thermostat? ---

A long time ago - I’ll go ahead and get new replacements and see if that helps - if it doesn’t it is still things that had to be done - thanks for the reminder - much appreciated.
