'79 Sudden stall/strange speedometer reading when starting up.
Hi Guys, ik hope somebody can give me some advice: i got a problem since last week with my engine stalling suddenly (just out instantly dead) and bad starting when warm. It's a '79 euro. I am not sure if the bad starting is related to the sudden stalling to be honest.
I noticed something that may not be related but may lead to pinning down my problem. My speedometer keeps pointing 20/30 km sometimes when it stalls. It won't start then. I first have to take the ignition key out and put it in again and before it starts...Any idea's? My plan is:
1. Check the grounds.
2. replace bad fuel relay.
3. replace fuel filter.
4. Check fuel pump.
Also see my video on youtube for the strange speedo reading: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvZot4f_kWI
Thanks in advance!

thats a strange one,i would suggest you have a spark plug ready to plug into no 1 or no 4 plug lead next time it doesn't start up,and find out if it is FUEL or SPARK that you are lacking when it doesn't start.and go from there....mark
