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. |

TomT; it looks like the pump is exposed to road grime. Is there a cover or am I looking at it wrong?

Better be as he's missing the rear bolts to hold his cross-member in place!!! I really hope the pan (and bolts) were only removed to take pictures ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
