I posted this on the NARP board, and thought it would be silly not to post it here as well.
Last Saturday, I drove over 110 miles roundtrip from my house to Torrance and back - no problems. In fact, after doing an oil change there, it seemed to drive better going home. So I'm out for drive yesterday and I notice the idle is a little low and sputtering. I park the car for about 1.5 hours, and when I start to head home it's running like $hit. The engine is stalling at stops in neutral, and loss of power between 3000-3500 rpms when accelerating. At one point around 2 miles from home, the engine stalls at a light and I can't get it started. When I turn the key to the "ON" position I can hear the fuel pump before turning over without firing, and after several attempts I can smell gas so I don't think it's a fuel problem, but being a newbie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anybody in the I.E. that could lend a hand? |

Buy a haynes manual.
Look at all the vacuum lines and follow each one to each end. Make sure they are all hooked up. If one of them is not hooked up, take a picture, we will tell you where it goes. Buy a multi meter (radio shack) and we will teach you how to check your electrical connections on the fuel injection to ensure that they work. To fix your car and maintain it over the long haul you will need to have the following tools. A timing light A dwell meter A set of feeler gauges a 13mm wrench a flat head screw driver. a multimeter a 10mm wrench With these tools, we can help you not only diagnose what is wrong with your car, but we can help you learn how to maintain your car on your own so you can enjoy driving a 40 year old car. These cars will need regular tune up work every 3000 miles. Rich |
