Stock 74 with 2.0. D-jet
I havent had much time to work on the car lately. Fairly nice day today so I through a battery in it and drove it to town. 5-6 miles one way. On the way back it started cutting out. idles fine but won't take any gas. I push the gas pedal and it just cuts outs. pulled over. shut it off and fired it back up. Ran good for about a mile and started to cut out again if I gave it any gas. Shut it off while still rolling about 45, turned it back on and it ran for just a min before starting agin. Made it home... barely ???? Any clue what it might be? Thanks for the help |

Another, less likely, possibility is the fuel pump. I spent a long time diagnosing a similar issue that was caused by my pump failing at operating temp. As long as the engine was still warming up it pumped, but then would loose all pressure at once at a certain temp. I had to stick a pressure gauge on it and notice the pressure drop right before the engine died. The pump remained running, just no pressure. |

Glad you posted this - my car runs great for a while and then starts cutting out and eventually dying. I have checked the hoses for kinks and the fuel filter for clogging (clean as could be). If I let it sit for 5-10 minutes, it will fire right up and I am good for a few more miles. Now I just have to dig up that extra fuel pump I have somewhere or go buy a new late model style pump and convert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
