Hey 914world community (at least the here in LA lol)
I am wondering if anyone who presides in the area can help out with some hands on experience. my 73' all of a sudden just stopped staring. to be clear the engine will turn over but it will not complete the process and start the engine. it is a 1.7 FI and I am hoping someone can come over and with their experience and vast knowledge (because it always amazes me how my you all know about these cars ;-) and suss out what is wrong and then get what ever parts I might need and fix it myself or at least call a mechanic and get an estimate how much it fix the issue. thx -jp- |

We can help you thru the diagnosis from here.
Start at the beginning. Do you hear the fuel pump running for a second when you turn the key on? If not, check the fuses on the relay board. One of them feeds the aar and fuel pump. If yes, check for spark at the plug. Then check back with the results. |

Or CHT is unplugged. Also, check the center carbon contact on the distributor cap.

ok there are no vac leaks that im am quite certain of, but i like the fuel pump idea. where the hell is it and can I take it out in my driveway with common tools???
I think I checked the fuses already (it has been about six weeks when this happened) but I will check that again. Lastly what is a CHT??? and where is that located??? and as far as spark? do you mean the spark plugs?? could all four of them just fail all at once??? will wait for your reply's... -jp- |

I used to get calls all the time from my friend who's points would loosen up. I would drive out and fix them for him. It's a few minute job. You should also check to see if there is spark at the plug wires. |
