1975 1.8L Ljet injection. Car is hard to start. It takes 3-4 tries and some time a shot of starting fluid. Fuel pressure gauge reads 30 lbs. in engine compartment. The rpm rises to 1800 rpm for about 15 seconds, then the idle hunts between 500 rpm and almost stalling out. After the engine warms up it runs and starts as normal. Vacuum hoses are tight. Comments?

I've found the same condition on occasion too: either an air leak or a weak/broken connection St the dual relay. I disconnect Air hose lines one at a time, plug with rubber stoppers. As stated above, the small hoses can crack and leak as well as a plastic T fitting.
The connectors at the base of the dual relay can back off just enough to can that problem. Can be hard to see if the plastic base is installed |
