Drove it about 30 miles half on the freeway at 60mph. Running completely normal and smooth. Car has been sitting about a week. Not driving it much now. The power cut out kind of like it ran out of gas. The gauge says 1/4 tank and I can see gas down inside it. Checked my fuses and moved my relays around on the relay board. Car has spark. Stock 2.0 with D-jet. It does have pertronix points. Battery is strong. It tries to fire, but sounds sick and won't run. Smells like gas when you crank it.

I'm not proficient with the D-jet system as I am with L-jets but I did help a member with a Djet which had a very similar problem that you are experiencing. It ended up being a very intermittent connection at the ECU plug, more specifically pin 19 happened to be partially pushed thru the shell of that connector. Pin 19, IIRC is the fuel enable feed for the fuel pump relay on the relay board.
I would recommend removing the ECU plug and inspecting all pins that they are fully pushed forward and that there is no corrosion or burnt pit marks. Best of luck |
