I have a 93 cabrio that only runs for about 10 min. in the morning then stalls and will not run again until the next morning. After it stalls I still have spark and fuel. Maybe to much fuel???? Plugs are wet when I pull then Especially 1 & 4 What would cause this to happen? :shock:

sounds like your cold start solenoid is not turning off - forgive me if a CIS expert enters the fray because i am just generalizing here from other mechanical fuel injection systems-> but its not uncommon for cold start systems to fail and continue with a uber-rich mixture well beyond when they are supposed to.

granted, it would have to be pretty bad to shut your car down completely. usually it just means you have horrible gas millage and may start backfiring.

all above said, its most likely not the injection system at all, but something in the chain of ignition - check your coil, distributor, plugs and wires. even if they look good at idle they can fail under load--
