Hi team.
1973 2.0. Sat for a couple of weeks while I found a pair of used injectors to replace the leaky two. Soaked injectors in cleaner then exchanged them. Changed all of the injector seals also. Started up and ran like a champ. However, each subsequent time it was harder to start. Turns over, battery is a new odyssey 680 from two months ago. Only use non-ethanol 91 Added injector cleaner. A couple weeks ago it wouldn’t start, pushed it back into the garage then a couple days later it started again, but again not like it used to. Now, it won’t fire up. Sounds like it’s starving for juice. Replaced the fuel filter tonight. Old one looked clean but... Confirmed the ground strap is clean. I can hear the fuel pump kick on for a bit. Seams like the filter box should be full of fuel if the system pressurizes, but it’s only about half full. I’m leaning towards cleaning the tank. Sound like the most obvious step? |
