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 |

She started tonight. After tracking down everything, pulling the Dizzy to clean EVERYTHING" new points and condensor. I attempted to start her up. Nothing. Started cleaning up for the night, looked down to see the condensor wire not attached. Ok attach it attempt to start, nothing, put it on the wrong side of coil. Reattached to correct side, Dizzy loose as I don't own a timing light right now. Attempt to start, nothing. Continue to clean and remembered that someone said to remove the TACH wire from the coil. So I did. Attempt to start, motor started turning faster and faster, a good sign. Get out reach in and give her a twist. SHE FIRED, ran really, really rough. Rev a couple of time, jump out and start twisting. She started to idle higher and smooth out. I was doing the Chicken Dance in the drive way when the wife pulled in. EAR TO EAR GRIN, Shes alive. First words out of my wifes mouth, it smokes alot. Sorry for the long post I'm just really excited. Now what does removing the TACH wire have to do with the price of tea in China? How do I repair that. All the lights work. That's a +. The low beams dont work, one high beam does?????? Could be as simple as new head lights. Did I mention that I was excited.
