I purchased a 1974 2.0 non runner. The shop said FI issues. I've been reading the forum and found Daves site with trouble shooting the FI system. Alot of the checks are done at the connector end of the ECU connector.
1. Problem the ECU is a remanufactured unit and the cable is connected INSIDE the ECU. 2. What are the Values for just the individual parts? So far the Battery read 0.00 Volts, it's on the charger now. It started taking about 6 amps though, might be salvagable. All the Ignition wires are miles to long and cracked. The boots blocking the tin are melted and hard as rocks. Wire routing is non-existantant. They are all over the place running in and around, under or though everything. Fuel lines look to have been replaced not long ago. Ideas??? Thanks Smitty |

Vacume Lines, Spark Plugs and Wires have been ordered. Should arrive by Thursday/Friday. Saturday we'll have to take a real attempt at starting her up.
Has anyone found a method of keeping how much money will be "invested" into their cars from the Wife? Maybe I need a second job and seperate bank account. That could hold me over until Tax Time '09 when she would find out. Thanks for the lead on the Vacume Lines, I was about to McMaster Carr them. Smitty |

Get her hooked so she doesn't care or send her back to mom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm lucky - the car has seniority on the wife. Do you know how long this car has been sitting? If it has been a while there is some stuff you can probably work on while waiting for the plugs and wires. |

LOL It sat for about 2-3 months. I'll be flushing the brake lines, Fuel Lines, cleaning up the engine bay. Seems like there is always something to do with a car. LOL I have some rust in odd places, I'll have to get some photos, for suggested repairs. On top of the passenger front quarter panel is one. Smitty |

Just listening to some of your descriptions makes me think this car has not had stellar maintenance. Might want to give the brakes a good going over. Not sure if you are familiar with the venting clearance associated with the rear brakes. You might want to go through the process just to make sure things are ok inside the caliper. If you find brake fluid inside the adjuster holes then you'll need to rebuild. |
