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!!!!!!!!! |

OK, new info!!!
Injectors are squirting, and when the fuel pump pressurizes, engine starts and runs very smooth for a couple of seconds. Any attempt to throttle, and it dies out! NOW WHAT? |

CHECK SOCK IN FUEL TANK, AS WELL AS FUEL TANK AND FUEL FILTER. SOUNDS LIKE STARVATION DUE TO RESTRICTED FLOW. |
