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 |

QUOTE(mike_the_man @ Jan 20 2004, 11:56 AM) The same thing used to happen to my Volvo all the time. It was something really simple. Sometimes the fuses wouldn't make good contact (it had the same crappy european ones as teeners). If I just spun the fuses in their holders it would start. Something simple to check, although not likely your problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This happened to me. The car was running fine then just quit. After freaking out a little (this happened on the first day of ownership and I still had to drive the car 3000 miles home that week) I rolled the fuses on the relay board for the fuel pump in their holders per Brads' suggestion (Thanks, B!!) it started right up and I haven't had a problem since. |
