    1981 El Camino chokes off after engine warms
    My 1981 chevy El Camino starts fine. It runs for several minutes and then once the engine is warm it chokes off. It will start right back up but chokes off. What could be the cause of this? Is it a simple fix?

    I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM), if it hasn't been changed in 120,000 miles or 10 years. Easy job.
