I have a fuel injection issue. I bought the car not running. It has djet (?) Fuel Injection. It hasn't run for about five years, though they said it was running when it went in the garage.
It does start and run, but strangely it seems to run after I unplug the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay is mickey moused. Meaning it has a hot wire coming from the coil and wrapped around one of the relay posts and then plugged in. Without that wire the fuel pump does not turn on. With the fuel pump running the car does not want to start. After unplugging the fuel pump relay it starts good and runs good for a few seconds. I know little about fuel injection but am willing to learn. I really want this to work for me. I have a multi-meter. What should I check first? |

If the car has a 1.7 liter or a 2.0 liter engine, it's got D-jetronic FI. Look for a silver "hand grenade" thingie over on the right-hand side of the engine bay, with one vacuum hose and one four-wire electrical connector plugged into it.
If that's what you've got, check at http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders for all the D-jet info that exists, just about. There's a link there for a troubleshooting flowchart for the fuel pump... --DD |
