My super reliable 75' 1.8 now will not start. It has stock injection. I do have spark! Injectors show no fuel outflow when cranked. I then went to the pump and when cranking over it shows a steady low flow of fuel. Shouldent I see a pretty high rate of pressurized fuel given these are putting out over 20 psi? This is the original fuel pump.

I know I havent posted in a while... Im a looser (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

If I assume fuel flow is adequate out of pump but no fuel out of injectors when engine is cranked, any idea next area(s) to check?

Thanks!

Sounds like a sudden low flow condition. Any chance that recent work on the car caused a kink in a fuel hose somewhere along the line?

Unfortunately or fortunately I havent touched it aside from adjusting the valves after rebuilding it 3 years ago. It has always ran great.
