Hello,
I have a '73 1.7 car with fuel injection. Just starting to get it back on the road after sitting for many years. The car starts easily, idles well, and seems to run ok when warming up. Once warmed up and on the road, intermittently the car will stumble like shut off and then just as quickly it will go again. Going around corners, not all corners, it will do the same but for longer periods of time. Pushing on the gas when this occurs, nothing happens. The engine doesn't rev. its like its disconnected. I recently changed the fuel lines at the fuel pump due to age and cleaned out the fuel injectors. Car has about 5 gal of gas in it. Any ideas on where or what to look at first? Does this sound like a FI related problem? Thanks for the advice. EJP914 |

Many thanks for the replies. One more question about this.
My fuel gauge does not work. Bad sending unit at the tank? Car has been sitting for years. Maybe gummed up Does the sending unit in the tank do more than just sending a signal on how much gas is in the tank? |
