Default Car just dying.

My car is in Mexico. I let my brother borrow it. Now he is having problems down there. The car starts just fine. When it reaches normal temperature it just dies. When trying to start again it just cranks. It cools down and it will start again and run fine until it warms up again. Its reading low voltage, Check engine light is not on. Fuel Octane there sucks ***. Alternator and battery were just replaced. Any suggestions?

Default

The crappy fuel could very likely have something to do with it, expecially with the cam.

I would say try charging the battery and look for some better fuel.
