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!

One way to test the pump on L-Jet.... There is a little flap inside the Air Flow Meter. With the key on, move this flap. You should hear the pump run.
