I have a '87 gl-10 wagon that has 2 problems that I'd like to fix, one intermitant, but potentially serious, the other constant, but a mere annoyance. I'll start with that one. The heater fan only works on "high". I recall reading somewhere that it's controlled by a series of ballast resistors, which I presume are buried deep in the dashboard somewhere. Are they easy to get to (ha!) or a real pain that would require ripping out the entire dash?
Second, more serious problem. The car occasionally, and without any discernable pattern, will suddenly lose power and stall. If it is going to happen, if will be a cold, but not neccessarily bitterly so (this morning it did it and it was 31-32, yesterday, at ~10 was fine), morning and it will happen within 2-3 miles of starting up. When it happens, the car will start up again and run without any further problem, if I let it sit for about 1 minute before restarting.
146k miles, automatic, carbed (oh how it wish it was FI).Thanks for any insight on either problem.
