Disappearing GTV-6 Throttle

["Joseph A Fillip, Jr." <joseph.fillipjr@domain.elided>]

Digesti:

My apologies if you're all seeing this for the second time, but I had gotten
a notice that my outbound e-mails were not getting through, and have not
received a Digest (or any other e-mail, for that matter)since Saturday,
7/17.

Anyway, my problem is as follows: the last two times I've driven my ('85)
GTV-6 (both very hot and humid days), my throttle has cut out completely
while the car has been at speed and running awhile. The car doesn't stall;
it just simply stops getting gas while I have the gas (air?) pedal
depressed. The car will slow, and then the throttle will kick in again.
Originally, the problem only cropped up when I had the A/C on, and would
stop if I shut the A/C down. On my last drive, however, the problem
persisted even after I turned the A/C off. On my way home in the evening,
however, after the tempreature had cooled down to the low '80s, high '70s,
the problem did not reoccur. At all times, the car has shown no signs of
overheating.

This is getting a bit unnerving. Anyone else had this problem? Any
diagnoses? Is this just an ambient temperature problem, or a fuel injection
system (or some other system) problem? Thanks for any and all help.
