Hey guys new to the Mustang world and need lil bit of help with my 88 mustang.
Here's the problem, after driving for about 1 mile or longer,(long enough for engine to get warm) it will not start right back up it acts like the battery is dead, if i let it sit and cool off for about 30 min or longer it will start right up, any suggestions?

vapour lock? sounds electrical to me. coil to be honest. as something heats up it stops working. ide take the coil to autozone and have them test it first.
