Oh my gosh!!!! She is back to doing this same thing all over again. I finally got her running . She ran fine one evening, parked her. Next day she would not start. No power to the injectors. I got spark. I got gas in the lines. Fuel pump works like it should. I took the distributor out and cleaned the trigger points to see if that would help. All wires are connected. MPS connected. All vacuum lines connected. I bought a noid light set up and they are definitely not getting power.
What else could it be? Something on the relay board? Bad relay? This car is driving me insane. I am about to go duel carbs and drop this piece of **** fuel injection if I can't get this thing running. |

I do want to mention. If she sets for a little while and I go to crank her, she will try to turn over. It is like she is getting a spitter of gas. It is much like if you spray starting fluid and it hits the plugs except it doesn't last but a second or so.
I am going to check my trigger points again like I mentioned. One thing also when I was going through this before is the MPS. If it was touching metal it seems like, the car would not start. I would move it and she would start. I also noticed the plug can go in both ways but only one way allowed it to start. Now I have her mounted where she suppose to go but I just wonder if that could be my issue. Anyway to check that? Do these things go bad? |

Do these things go bad? Wiring. But check them anyways as Jeff has said. Most problems with the stock FI are wiring. I'd take the whole harness out....ring out all the ends and clean all the grounds while you have the dizzy out. Visually inspect it. If there are cracked wires.....I'd hit up Jeff for a new one. |
