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- |

What kind of "doesn't start"?
Doesn't crank over? Cranks over weakly? Cranks and cranks strongly but doesn't light off? As mentioned, need to check the basics.. fuel, air, spark. Dirty gas tank sock? clogged fuel filter? Had you done anything to the car lately? ie, you set xxxx but never tightened something back down all the way? |
