I have a 1970 1.7 and I need help. The first problem is my starting issue. I replaced the ignition switch and checked all connections and have found no issues. When I turn the key I get the oil light on and fuel pump running like normal. When I turn the key to start I get the oil light to go off and the fuel pump to run. All I get out of the starter is a click, most of the time. Every once in a while it cranks and starts right up. The starter is also new.
Now, once it starts I can't keep it running. Previously I could get it to stay running and it would run very high rpm for about 30 seconds then start to fluctuate and eventually die. I replaced all of the vacuum lines and now when it starts it will only run for a few seconds. My guess is the tuning is way off. If this is the case, how do I find a good starting tuning point so I can keep it running in order to fine tune it? It is still fuel injected and all standard tune-up components replaced. |

Checked static timing and dwell, checked pressure, and many other items and still can't find anything wrong. I think for now I am going to put some carbs on it and deal with the FI at a later time unless someone has another idea.
