I was driving down the road at about 25mph when the car died. I pulled to the side of the road and tried to restart it. It cranks but won't start. I checked all the fuses/hoses etc. I'm wondering could it be the fuel pump? It's a 1975 1.8. I'm stuck at work for the next two days but I thought maybe you guys could give me some troubleshooting tips to try when I get home. Thanks!

QUOTE Do you hear the fuel pump run when you turn it on? My first check is usually to make sure there is spark. and then see if you are getting fuel out of the injectors. John No, I didn't hear the fuel pump with the key on. Should you hear it on a 75? Yes, only for a couple of seconds, each time you turn the key on. NO. With L-Jet, you won't hear the pump when you turn the key. With D-jet you hear the pump prime a few seconds |
