Hi everyone,
sorry for basically posting the same problem I've been chasing for 3months... 1972 1.7 with Djet I've Done nearly everything... honestly.. tested and re-tested... This weekend I even changed the FI harness completely..... So I guess I'm going to start over from scratch and give it one more go around. The good news is that my problem has gotten worse and now its to the point of not starting, so it should be easier to find than when it was intermittent. The symptoms. when the car is cold (or sits for 30 minutes) it will start and then run for 30-60 seconds. During this running time it is smooth, hitting on all cylinders, and sounds good.... However, after 30 seconds it dies and will not restart until it has sat for 30 minutes. During the "dying" it shows spark at the timing light and Fuel Pressure on a guage... During its no start period, it continues to have spark at each plug wire, and continues to have 29.6psi of fuel pressure at the guage... So I've got to think its FI related. I swear, I've tested everything except for the cold start sensor, and TPS.... but I guess I had better start over... Is there something with this type of symptom I should check first? I thought FI points, but have tried 3 sets yesterday to no avail. I also ohm tested the 25 pins on the ECU and they were all fine. Is there something in the regulator board that would cause this problem, other than the power to the Fuel pump (since I have pressure still). thanks everyone. brant |

Brad,
Yeah.. I think I tested every single thing (well maybe not the TPS, relay board, and cold start sensor)... but dang near everysingle thing... so I'll pull the injectors again and check for spray patterns... I highly suspect that when I'm in a no start mode that there will be Zero spray pattern and that the no start is being caused by no fuel..... (why there is no fuel, I'm not sure as the pressure is good and the spark is good).. Sunday I tried 2 distributors and 3 sets of FI points.... but tonight I'll pull them and double check that. I said I'd start at square one, so I will... good idea and I need to verify the fuel issue thanks again brant |
