Just cut out on the Fwy, fuel issue Options

[johnpierre]

hello 914 community

so I was driving the other Sunday - nice drive with no traffic due to covid, doing 80 on the 405 heading south, for those of you that don't live in LA, that is in LA ;-) and then all of a sudden I just lost power.

it sounded like I ran out of gas but that of course is impossible as the tank was 1/2 full. I have a 73, 1.7 fuel injected engine and I have never had this issue.

I suppose I can tow the car to a garage but I thought I might put this out there in case this sounds familiar to anyone and I could try to troubleshoot the issue first. is there anything I can check rather easily to solve this? has this happened to anyone else under these conditions?

I looked all around the top of the engine as best I could when it happened and I didn't see anything disconcerted or otherwise out of place - but then again I don't really know what I was looking for and it was hot so I really could feel around that much.

ok everyone - it as been a few months - i just been so busy i have not been able to really dig in on this issue.

i still cant start the car, $@!#%&

i replace all the round relay's that were on the board in the back engine bay, as recommended and still no luck

any suggestions as to what to troubleshoot next ??

i have a few open days that i can dedicate to this issue - i need to get this car running - the weather is changing here in LA and this is my favorite time to drive it. plus it is currently parked on the street (covered) and due to covid culver city stopped writing tickets for street cleaing but that is about to end so i need to be able to park the car in the driveway on the street cleaning days.

i suppose i could tow it to a shop but it just seems to me that it is a simple fix which i can perform myself but i just don't know exactly what to look at or test.

914 community what is the next step????
