I have a 1973, 1.7 with original FI. Mostly stock car. Recently it was stalling, backfiring and running VERY hot (Smoking) from the exhaust. I have already replaced the fuel pump and relocated it. I looked at it and the condenser was bad, it burned the points and became out of timing. I replaced the parts, re-tuned it. It ran great for about 100 miles. Now the symptoms are back. (Back fire, no power, stall, etc) I assume I am going to find the same issue. Does anyone have an idea what could cause this to happen again? Could it be I put in a bad replacement condenser or is there a cause before it in the system that creates this symptom, and is the actual problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Terry |
