[net.auto] Engine misfires or dies

Friends,

    I seem to have a recurring problem with my 1975 Toyota
    Celica.  It seems that whenever the car is parked long
    enough to lower its temperature to between about 110-140
    degrees(after it has been up to operating temperature),
    the car has a tendency to miss or completely die.  I know
    that while the car is warming up to operating temperature
    from being completely cold, the polution control system
    goes through at least three different stages. The first is
    the manner it handles start-up, the second is roughly the
    temperatures I previously mentioned, and the third is some-
    where above 140 degrees. I think from about 140 to 180 degrees
    is considered about the same as far as the polution control
    is concerned.  I intend to sit down and study my polution
    control manual( all the different subsystems) to determine
    what the problem is.  It won't be the first time! I've
    figured out other problems with these systems before,
    especially the TCS system.
    If anyone has an answer to this problem, it would save
    me a lot of time and trouble! 
    I would appreciate any help I could get!
