Electrical Problems Options

[Loser_Cruiser]

Looking for some advice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

I bought a 76 2.0L FI DL 914. It did not run right and most of the electrical was not working also. Well, now I have head, signal, brake, emergency, backup lights, starter and wipers. Horn and trunk light are still an issue.

I removed gas tank and flushed, good shape, replaced gas lines and fuel filter. Replaced plugs. points, condenser, rotor, cap and plug wires, new air filter, changed engine and transmission oil, and filter.

Car started right up and runs very nice. Runs very nice for about 5 minutes and then cuts out like it not getting gas or loading up.

Placed a pressure gauge on the FI today, and it stays at 30-32 psi when primed and running. When the car starts to cut out the pressure is still 30-31 psi. Vacuum lines look good and in the right place.

Car is a California car and loaded with the EGR equipment, EGR pump is removed.

Request some advice on the next hoop to jump thru.

Has good charge and battery. Cleaned fuse box today, has good conductivity on the ground strap. Good charging system and battery. Cleaned FI, good spray!!!
I am going to check the cyl pressure and valve tolerances tomorrow.
Running out of things I know what to look at. H E L P !!!!!!!!

Check the fuel filter, I had a similar issue after starting mine up after PO-Barn storage for several years, the fuel line had crap in it, and after runnning for a few minutes, the crap makes it's way up the line and on to the filter. The car then dies once the filter is clogged enough. then, after the car sits for a bit, some of the crap falls back out of the filter, and allows the car to run for a bit and the situation repeats it's self.

-pull the filter, see if it's dirty, attach a soft line to the end of the fuel line, and put it into a bucket, then run the pump for a minute or two to see if dirt comes out with the gas...

-Good Luck!
