hey everyone
all of a sudden out of the blue the engine just started sputtering and cutting out. this when on for two days or about 20 miles (thats the total I drove it for those days). pulled it in the driveway and when I went back to it a few days later it won't start al all. it sounds to me like it is out of gas which of course is impossible, it was on a 1/4 tank when this happened so the possibility of this being the cause is slim to none. 73' 1.7 FI any thoughts... -jp- |

If you're absolutely sure it has fuel (don't trust the gauge), check the fuel pump. This happened to me, and my fuel pump was bad. 'Course be prepared for sticker shock when you find out how much a replacement fuel pump is going to cost. You could do the carb conversion (32/36 or dual 34s) WITH the correct carbed fuel pump for less than the price of a replacement FI fuel pump...
