96 Z24 engine problem
Ok, of course the car has the 2.4L (5spd man) in it, about a month ago I started experiencing problems with it stalling after it got to normal temp. If I sat in traffic for any length of time and the temp got just a needle width over 195 degrees it would start to sputter like it was being starved for fuel and sounding like it is only hitting on 3 cylinders eventually it would just die and not restart. After it would set for about 2 hours it would restart and run fine. Check engine light was on, so had a mechanic hook a diagnostic and it read that "bank 1 running lean" so he suggested it could be a partially clogged fuel filter. I replaced the fuel filter the car ran ok and the "check engine" light even went out on its own a couple of days later. Now after about a week, Im having the same problem again. It only seems to happen when the car has sat for a few minutes after being driven and then restarted, or attempted to restart. Its like its running out of fuel, which it isnt as it has nearly a full tank. I'm wondering if it could be the coil pack or God forbid the fuel pump? Anybody with simular problems that got it solved PLEASE help.

Re: 96 Z24 engine problem
can the coil packs be tested to see if they are causing the problem?
