Driving the car home last night with the gas gauge reading 1/2 full my car all of a sudden sputtered and stalled like it ran out of gas!! I went to the gas station got a gallon of gas and it still would not start.
Is there anything special I should know, to try to get this to start? could I have blown a fuel injector?? Is maybe a gallon not enough in the tank and I need to add a couple more?? Any suggestions would help!! By the way its a 1973 1.7 with D-Jet injection |

After adding the gas, the motor cranked and cranked and just wouldn't start, a couple of times it sounded like it was starting but wouldn't. I cranked so much that the battery went low, had to start jumping it.
This happened once before when the gauge was at half full the car wouldn't crank over, me in my infinite wisdom thought it was because one of the electical wires to the fuel pump was frayed so I replaced the whole fuel system electrical. It still didn't crank so I took it to the shop, they ended up replacing the distributor, a couple bad injectors and said that it was out of GAS!! $500 bucks later it was running. I am hoping not to have to do that again!!! |
