Stalling on the Freeway

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

It's not clear if the starter was turning and it just not catching or was
the starter not turning. Which one is it?

   Having to sit in traffic for nearly an hour today the '85 began to
stumble and then died. As the traffic was due to an accident ahead, the
whole interstate was closed. I tried to start the car and it coughed a
couple times but nothing else. The coolant temp never even got about half
way. On a whim I yanked the fuse to the fuel pump and let the car dry itself
out. After a few more minutes of coughing it finally caught and I was able
to go again. Problem is that when I came to a stop the car died again and
resumed it's non-starting issue. Mind you, the weather was quite warm today
and I don't have these stumbling problems in cooler weather. What could the
outside temperature be affecting so that the car would run rich to a fault?
