My 1985 mazda rx 7 1.1 gets glowing hot where exhust comes out of the motor , replaced exhust pipe and muffler but didn't help have any suggestions

Hi,
Check the ignition timing.
Make sure the fuel you are using is specified for engine use.
Last one will be to check the catalytic converter if it still open.

Hope that helps!

When I get stuck in traffic in real hot weather I get a vapor lock and I just run out of fuel to the carburetor. The engine will restart if you prime the carburetor 1985 Chevrolet C 3500

Not an expert here but hope this helps. I had an 85 GMC Van and the previous owner had installed an electric fuel pump in engine compartment. I too would stall when hot. I finally relocated fuel pump to underneath the van and it ran cool and no more vapor locks.

Coil problems getting hot and shutting of the van.1985 dodge 318

If the coil has never been changed then replace it and the problem should go away. As the coil gets older it starts to cause power failure, they tend to break down more common during the hot summer like a battery. Also check your wiring to coil for any frayed or cracked insulation on wiring. Hope this will help you.

On a 1985 Ford F250 diesel, with the 4 speed

I would replace fluid and filter. At least the fluid. Old fluid has bad temperature range protection and the inter cooler doesn't help cool the lines much.
