Car is not restarting

Hello, Im sure you guys have heard this problem before so hear it goes. My 89formula 350 would start and run and then it would not restart after a while. Its not the start cuz it turns over. So i thought it could be something with the ignition or something. So i replaced the cap and plugs and wires were ok. I put it back on and everything ran fine until i stopped it. The car started to feel sluggish and felt like it was missing and was loosing power. I stopped it and it would not restart until later. Im thinking of takin it to the mechanic but before i do please advise to see if i could do anything before i take it.

Thanks

Got the same problem with mine. Mechanic said bad fuel injectors. Have them checked out.

Re: Car is not restarting

check the plug wires and make sure they are all on and also check the chip on your key and make sure it isnt messed up the security system on those cars can do that
