1975 Ljet 1.8l. The car starts and runs fine in cold weather. When it is warm, the engine cranks and cranks and will not start. Use a little starting fluid, it starts, but unless I keep my foot on the accelerator, it will stall until it warms up. Head temperature sensor???

yep, you have a vacuum leak. Could be anywhere or everywhere. You have to find it. Go to YouTube and search for a smoke machine. fresh paint can, compressed air, charcoal, cardboard and some hoses. Pump the smoke in, watch where it comes out.
Even the distributor can be a vacuum leak. Good luck. |
