On my way home on the freeway last night, my 74 2.0L just died travelling along at 70 MPH. Had her towed home.
Looking at it today, it appears there is no spark. If I turn the key, I can hear the fuel pump so seems like I got power there. I have a newer Bosch coil from PP that I put in a few months ago (it's one of those silver looking ones but a Bosch unit). I replaced the coil back with the old one and still no start. Car cranks, but no fire. The car has Pertronix in it. I suspect this is what died. Does that sound right to the folks here? |

A follow up question about fuel pump power:
So looking at my fuel pump power problem again today, it appears my fuel pump runs continuously once the ignition is switched on (without cranking the starter) vs running only for 1.5-2.0 seconds and shutting off. 1. Given that my fuel pump has been relocated to the front, where is the most likely place that the PO jumpered in for power to the fuel pump? And most likely ground location? 2. In the original fuel pump location (engine bay) there would have been power coming off of the harness (through the snorkel?). When people relocate the pump up front, do they typically just tie up the old power lead (and ground?) for the pump in the rear? 3. If I wanted to extend the original power lead from the rear up to the fuel pump now locatced in the front, how hard is that to get through the firewall and the tunnel? Mission impossible without pulling it all out? |
