Hi Guys,
I have a '74 2.0 that has original FI and runs very well. However, after a hour drive or so, the car will not start for about 10 minutes or until it cools down. I have replaced the starter and voltage regulator but still the same problem persists. I have heard of relocating the fuel pump to the front in order to prevent vapor lock but have not tried this yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Clark. |

QUOTE(tpines @ Nov 22 2010, 11:32 AM)  I have heard of relocating the fuel pump to the front in order to prevent vapor lock but have not tried this yet. If the starter doesn't turn over, vapor lock is *not* your problem. Vapor lock means the fuel pump is trying to pump vapors instead of liquid. You need two things for vapor lock: - Heat. And a lot of it. The fuel in your pump and lines needs to boil and turn into vapor. - A working, cranking starter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
