Anybody else feel like all they ever do is ask for help fixing their car? Anyway, please help - I have no backup car this week, ice skating lessons for a 4 year old, science fair for a 4th grader and a car that is acting up!! Here's the scenario-
Yesterday afternoon, car cold, cranks over fine, no start. Try again, starts fine, idles a little low. Drive 30 minutes, stop for 5, try to start, cranks fine, won't start. try again, does start Drive 5 minutes, stop, - cranks, no start, tryagain, no start, 3rd try does sttart this morning, first start of the day, starts ok, idle low, i check under the hood, there is a little dampness (gas) near fuel injector #1, nothing else. started ok though, so i go about my day, checking every stop for leaking fuel, see none. this afternoon, repeat of yesterday. this time though, on my last stop, it took 4 trys and prayers from my kids to get it running. wouldn't bumps start either. also, this afternoon i notice that at about 2400-3200 the engine is stumbling a little, never done this before. i'm thinking its not gettting fuel. - or maybe too much fuel maybe the injector is going? i did just replace the pcv valve? i heard the fuel pump prime so i don't think that's it. like i said, i have very little time today and am hoping to start looking in the right place - my thoughts are pull & check plugs check for spark but as for checking the injectors, never done it? maybe timing? your thoughts? |

Race: It has a CHT, and there is a test for that. The CHT is a resistor that changes it's value with the temp of the head.
Check the Points to see if they open and close (pop of the dist cap with the car in 3rd gear and move it till the lobe on the dist shaft points at the contact piece of the points). You should have about .017" about the thickness of a match book cover. I don't run points because they are a problem. :PERMAGRIN: Joe |
