76 2.0 d-jet. stock displacement, hydraulics, with smog removed and backdated exhaust to 74 2.0 SSI's with Triad.
Runs great. Pulls hard to redline in 4th with no missing. Idles 850-950 when warm. Starts up when cold just great and idles 700-800. After running 10-15 minutes to town and going in the store for 10-15 minutes, come back out and turns over but doesn't want to fire. Pedal to the floor and turn over for 30-40 seconds and it gets faster and faster and finally fires up. Then runs great. If it sets for an hour or more , no problem in firing right up. Searched here and the only thing I can see that may be causing this is the distributor plate spring(s)? The wiring is all fairly new, so I don't think that would be the problem. Checked all of the connections and they are clean and tight. If the dist plate is sticking in the full advance would that give me these symptoms and how would I fix that? Grease? Special type? Thanks for any help, Tom |

Can the resistance from the CHT be lowered to correct for the temperature differences ?

I experienced almost the similar symptoms this summer in my 74 2.0L, although my car actually stalled and then wouldn't start. Car has always started and idled strongly when cold. I've been told it's vapor lock, and I've been told vapor lock is a myth (Fuel pump is in the stock position for a 74). I don't care what it is, but I'd sure love to be able to trust my car again. I did look in my gas tank and found some rust at the bottom but it didn't look like enough to clog the fuel screen or a fuel filter. Here's what my experience was (this all happened on one day):
1) Drove about 15 miles then parked the car for 1.5 hours. Car wouldn't start. Tried intermittently for 10-15 minutes until I finally held down the pedal for 30-45 seconds (at least) and the car finally started. 2) Drove about 3 miles to the store and parked the car for 5-10 minutes. Car wouldn't start. Tried intermittently for 15-20 minutes until I finally held down the pedal for 30-45 seconds (at least) and the car finally started. 3) Drove about 15 miles and the car stalled on the highway. I was downshifting from 4th to 3rd when the car stalled (slow traffic + going up a hill). Car wouldn't start. Tried intermittently for 20-30 minutes until I finally held down the pedal for 30-45 seconds (at least) and the car finally started. 4) Drove another mile and the car stalled down the street from my house. I was downshifting from 3rd to 2nd (turning onto my street). Car wouldn't start. Left it parked for a few hours and then it started right up. |
