Stopped and Won't Start - '74 2.0 Stock DJet, But all was well and going so great Options

[Larouex]

I have put a 100 miles on my rebuild for my 2.0, Stock DJet and everything was running great. Now the engine has died and it will not start.

Here is what happened...

I was coming around the corner and taking it on my Sunday drive to around 80 MPH and then the engine started to drop acceleration, engine would engage, then buck and then it just ran weakly for a another 100 yards and seemed to not respond to any throttle. Once I pulled over and tried to start it, it was dead. So I walked back to the house (and came back to tow it) it would not start, so I brought it home.

Here is what I tested this afternoon to troubleshoot the car...

• I verified the fuel pump. Pulled the relay, shorted it and my PSI is 29 and all seems well on my fuel loop.
• Tested the plugs for spark, put in the tester and tried all 4 wires, all had strong spark.
• Put in starter thrust spray and the engine does start and then dies.
• I pulled thew 1 & 3 injectors and tested them for spray. They both sprayed and clicked and sprayed as I used the throttle.

The other thing I was doing this last week, I was repairing the gauges, new lights, etc. I thought maybe I had the Tach wires messed up as that can cause the engine to crap, but I verified this with 2 tachs and I think it is unrelated as the engine will start with starter spray,

I seem to be dealing with a fuel problem to the injectors, but things seem to check out.

I am now stuck and looking for suggestions from the experts.
