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- |

Check the fuse for the pump (on the relay board in the engine compartment)--sometimes it will look good, but corrosion on the ends will keep it from providing power to the pump. "Spin" it to make sure . . . . You can also check it by turning on heater fan--IIRC, they're on the same fuse. Hope this helps! |
