I did prey to make it home safe, just didn't add the part to keep it running.
Drove great 6 hrs straight then ??? Here are the symptoms. Every once in a while I felt a very slight surge . Like as fast as a blink of the eye but it got my attention. Sometimes volt meter would just stay on 12 then move towards 12.5 Tach bounced every once in a while, but it's always done that. Got off freeway and stalled. Had to keep revs up at every red light as it would not hold idle. Parked in front of house. Turns over but does not start. No putt putt no nothing. 1975 1.8 fuel inject. All stock. Fuel pump ? Coil ? Could be its pissed off cause I took it out of Arz !! |

QUOTE(Coondog @ Jun 2 2016, 02:37 PM)  I have read that your suspose to hear the fuel pump running ?? I have never heard anything running under the front trunk. Do you have a helper and a stethoscope? Have them turn the key and you stick your ear by the pump. It will go back off if you don't start the car. IIRC the key will start the pump on an L-Jet. But the AFM keeps it running. As air moves thru it, it opens and voila, the pump runs. The filter on the OEM 75 is a bitch to replace, but it sounds like you should. Both of my stories.... the Bug and the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Do you know the last time it was replaced? |
