Ya I didn't think the evap leak would cause this (its been on for a couple weeks with no problems)
But my car did the same thing this morning on my way to work. died while driving for about 10 minutes, sat there for about a minute of no start then just fired up :/

It has a Bosch dizzy on it, not sure how old cause I just bought the car about 2 months ago
Any other thoughts?
