My Square has for the 1st time let me down. The other day I as driving home from the store and it stalled at a stop light. I was able to restart but I have some concerns. I had been driving it around in traffic in the 87 degree heat for about 20 minutes. I then stopped at the store and it started fine. But then a few blocks later at the stop light it stalled and was very hard to start. I have noticed that, like a lot of people, my car is hard to start when warm. I just seems like the engine is (I know this sound crazy) turning to slow. It just kinda starts up sputtering until I give it gas or pump the gas. I have within the last 3 months and probably 500 miles done a tune up. But it has always had a hard time restarting hot, that sputtering until it gets going. I had only static timed it, but a few weeks ago checked it with a strobe and it was correct. Any Ideas? Should I just redo the tune up proceedure?
