1980 Stalls and won't start Posted by Fogline [Email] ![]() ![]() |
So....
After searching this board and still not totally solving the challenges facing getting this old girl back on the road, I am asking a question that is hopefully going to be easy to solve.
Car starts right up when cold. Then, if I rev it, it won't idle then stalls and won't start again.
I have changed:
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Distributor cap and rotor
coil
air filter
It is running better when revved now. I was having a periodic loss of power when revving which made me think it was a fuel problem. Still having the situation of it not idling though and stalling and won't start.
After reading about a similar problem on a new car, I pulled the fuse to the fuel pump and it did start, but of course, pretty much died right away.
Any help is appreciated. NTC Sensor was suggested in another post. Anyone? Not even sure I can get one for this old girl.
Thanks as always.
