I posted this on the NARP board, and thought it would be silly not to post it here as well.
Last Saturday, I drove over 110 miles roundtrip from my house to Torrance and back - no problems. In fact, after doing an oil change there, it seemed to drive better going home. So I'm out for drive yesterday and I notice the idle is a little low and sputtering. I park the car for about 1.5 hours, and when I start to head home it's running like $hit. The engine is stalling at stops in neutral, and loss of power between 3000-3500 rpms when accelerating. At one point around 2 miles from home, the engine stalls at a light and I can't get it started. When I turn the key to the "ON" position I can hear the fuel pump before turning over without firing, and after several attempts I can smell gas so I don't think it's a fuel problem, but being a newbie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anybody in the I.E. that could lend a hand? |

Never seen one of them before but there is no reason it shouldn't work. Give it a try - you'll need a multimeter anyway. If you can - measure the dwell of the current setup just to check out the meter. If it is reasonably close to spec you should be good to go.
My 2 cents worth. Pull a plug and have a look at it. Maybe even post a pic. The MPS is a really critical part of the system like toon said. They are also starting to die off from age. The failure point is the metal diaphram inside. A crude but effective test is to pull the vacuum hose and suck on it. Stick your tongue in the hose try to hold the vacuum. If it doesn't hold replace the hose and try again. Still not holding - borrow a vacuum pump and test properly. Still not holding - get out your wallet. |
