I have a 74 2.0 with the factory fuel injection. I have replaced plugs, cylinder head temp sensor, electronic ignition/ coil, air filter, relocated fuel pump, fuel filter. All done about 300 miles ago. Car ran great for that 300 miles but now I have an issue I didnt want to have someone else fix but after a month of chasing I am clueless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I can cold start the car and it will idle great and stay idling great 9/10 times. When I start to drive the car its fine for 30 secs to 2-3 mins then it will start to chug out and begin to die out, I can blip the throttle hard and it will rev for a few more secs then it will just die out. After it dies it will try to start but just cranks but never fires. It will then begin to have a strong smell of fuel. If I let the car sit for roughly an hour or more I can go crank it up and drive for 30 secs or so then it dies out. I have tried unplugging injectors to see if one is stuck open but I dont think so bc it is not constant. Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Please help, Im frustrated beyond belief (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I have messed with the ecu adjuster knob but does not help enough to fix issue. TIA for any help!

I'm near Atlanta, sounds like if it's a mps or trigger points they are both tough to find ones in good working condition right?

Check thru the other stuff first, but if all else is o.k. trigger points plate can be had for about $200 new, . M.p.s. can be tested, check to see if it holds vacation. If not, place an add in classifieds. Usually there are a few out there used in good working order for u.der $200. .
Are you running d jet,? Go to jeff bowlsby's site he is a fuel injection guru, and has the bosch manuals and other resources, and he makes replacement wiring harnesses etc.

Auto atlanta, automotion and pelican parts all carry much of what you may need if you can't fins good used stuff here.
