cranks over,no start Options

[funin74]

can anyone help..my 1974 1.8 cranks over but doesnt fire,if you spray starting fluid into the intake/air cleaner it starts and runs for 2-4 seconds,i checked and it seems to have great fuel pressure,i cant hold back the pressure with my finger over the fuel line,i also just lowered the engine to seal some oil leaks while doing this i pulled the wires loose from the relay on the fire wall in the engine area behind the passenger seat,can anyone send me a close up picture of the wires the plug into it,forgot how they plugged in.

Are your injectors firing?

Having pressure to the line does not mean a thing if the injectors don't spray when they are told to.

Do you have a haynes manual? it has the wore diagram that will tell you what wires go where.

Also, for future reference (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) remember to take a *good* picture of where the wire connectors go before you pull them out. Save a TON of time when you have to put them back.

But, there is a silver lining. Now you will get to figure out how to read those hateful current flow diagrams that they started using in '74 - and this will be helpful in the future.
