I have a 73 2.0l with stock FI. I got the car after it has been sitting for about 10 yrs. After gettting it to run I changed the oil, cap, plug wires, plugs, and fuel filter. The car starts and runs every day but after 50-100 miles it starts to run rough and looses power. It still will start every day without trouble and idles fine. The only item the previous owner replaced that he thought was the problem was the pressure sensor. Any help would be appreciated.

QUOTE but after 50-100 miles it starts to run rough and looses power Could be fuel starvation. There is a screen in the bottom of the tank on the fuel outlet. Look throught the filler hole with a strong flashlight and see if there's a lot of sediment in the tank. QUOTE mine will idle a bit rough (low) after it gets pretty warmed up, but that is because i have the fuel pump in the stock location, so it tends to suffer from vapor lock Vapor lock causes hard starting because heat creates bubbles in the fuel. Your low idle is most likely something else. |
