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.

Have you tested your fuel pressure. Should be 28 psi but in hotter climates up to 31psi would be acceptable. Could be anything from weak pump, bad MPS or clogged filter.
good luck |
