Another one for you guys...........
Here is the problem I am trying to fix. Whenever the needle in the temp guage gets to about 1/4 the fuel pump starts surging. This causes the idle to start to go up and down in rythm with the fuel pump. Also when under load the car stutters and shudders and kinda wants to choke. Before the car gets up to that temp. it runs nice and smooth, strong on acceleration and no poping or backfiring on decel or anything. Just sounds great and runs fine. Idle is where it should be and fuel pump does not surge. Here is what has been done. -Valve adjustement -Dwell adjustement -Timing adjustement -Tested MPC as per proper ohms. Parts I have changed- coil, plugs, ignition points, trigger points, condenser, rotor, cap and wires. Questions:- what could make the pump surge like that? -does it make a difference how the MPC wire goes into it's conector? -How do I properly check the head temp sensor. -Could the intake temp. sensor be the cause. I am at a lost. Feel like I am going in circles. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Has anyone had this kind of problem?? Desperate for advice.

Well...., didn't have time to get a fuel guage today so that will have to be tomorow.
Still curious though if anyone knows about what I was asking about the heads being switched around. Is it possible?? HTS is now besides cylinder #2 (not 1 as previously stated) as opposed to being beside cylinder #3. Now if you were to switch them around that is where it would end up. Seems to me like that is what happened. what do you think? more to come tomorow with the fuel pressure. Thanks to all who are helping on this one. Cheers, Dominic.
