Went for a drive today since I finally got a day off on a weekend that it's not raining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Had a blast for a good 45min cruising around some back roads. While driving It backfired a few times and had a slight hesitation from coming from a complete stop. It also died once or twice but it didn't have to bad an issue starting back up.
When I got back home it sat for maybe 2 min and then when I tried to move it, it didn't want to start. It was turning over just fine just didn't want to fire up. It's a 1.8 fuel injected 75. Was told when I bought it, it was upgraded to a 2.0 but I have no proof of that. I also have a huge hole in my muffler which brings me to my next question. I took a muffler from my 72 parts car and was wondering if I can just bolt it right on to replace it. Any help on where I should start looking for my problem would be much appreciated. I'm sure I'm being a bit vague with my issues but like I said I'm a complete newbie and learning as I go. |

To me, it sounds like its running lean. I'm assuming that you have the Ljet fuel injection setup? Check for vacuum leaks, by inspecting all rubber hoses and the rubber intake boot that connects to the air flow meter. I like using a can of starting fluid, and spraying around the rubber vacuum lines. If the engine increases in RPM, then it's likely to be the vacuum leak source. The air flow meter doesn't like seeing backfires, so I wouldn't drive the car till this is all sorted out.
