OK Here goes!!!! The wife and I decide to take a nice mountain drive Sunday after my mechanic (Porsche race car certified) gave me a clean bill of health for my '74 2.0 liter. Drove about forty miles through some of the most beautiful country (near ski slopes), and decided to stop for early dinner. Fabulous outdoor dining, temp about 76, several adult beverages, you know!!!! Got back iin the car to leave dead fuel pump
Left car at the only garage in town, daughter came and got us. Next morning, called Nate in Sacramento(THANKS, NATE!!) He overnighted a fuel pump directly to the garage, DUMBASS installed it, and called to tell me it was ready, but it didn't run just right Long story short, had car towed to my guy (sixty miles), who discovered that DUMBASS had not only kinked the fuel line, but didn't reinstall the fuel filter!!!!!!Who knows what got into my injectors Update soon!!!!!!!!! NOW WHAT??? After three weeks in the shop, running down all the FI components electrically, I'm getting no pulse to the fuel injectors. We even tried replacing the computer with a known working one. HELP!!!!!!!!! |

HHMM, can you tell if the FuelPump stops running after the car starts?
It's not supposed to stop but stranger things have happened. Replace the Fuel pump relay for yits and giggles. Have you tried starting the car with one of the inj's. pulled to see if they stop pulsing fuel? Have you checked the MPS to make sure it holds vac.? when was the last time the fuel system was cleaned, tank and all? Is the fuel filter new? Is there water in the bottom of the fuel tank? It sounds like you are running out of fuel for some reason, still maybe a clog or a kink. The car starting is a good sign. Check everything. Are you doing the work? |
