So i replaced the fuel tank on my car the other day (due to rust clogging it)... anyhow started driving today, got like 3 miles away and it acted like it was running out of fuel... finally died. anyhow pulled the coil wire just to make sure it was sending spark, reallly really weak, so replaced it- much better. car wouldnt really start even floored... unhooked the valve that gives the engine more oxygen (plugged it) cause it was letting air through, and it started when plugged... ran for a while. put the air cleaner back on, no dice... unhooked it and it ran long enough to get me to a gas station.
what would cause it to run great when cool and like crap when it warmed up? it's acting like it's out of fuel... could it be the computer? i cleaned the little ground wires, no change... i'm so burned out on this it's just killing me!!! please someone help me out! 1970 1.7 liter 914 |
