1975 1.8L with original fuel injection. I have totally gone over the car during the past year, replacing everything that needed replacing. I pulled the engine to repair some rust along the bottom of the engine compartment. I replaced the old plastic lines with new stainless lines in the tunnel, all new rubber fuel hoses, and filter, the PO had just installed a new fuel pump just before I bought the car. I drove it home and it ran fine. It starts with a blast of starting fluid, runs for a few seconds and dies. I can hear the fuel pump turn on and stop when I turn the key. I loosened the outlet line on the fuel pump and there was gas. I removed the fuel hose from the U shaped tube going to the injectors and there was no gas. Just to be shure I did not switch the inlet line with the return line, I used a Mighty Vac and was able to suck gas out of the line.


It seems the pump is not pumping when the car is starting, I should have had gas at the inlet line in the engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) compartment???

How many turns out for the idle adjustment screw in the throttle body???

Help! It is finally off the jack stands and I want to get this car on the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
