So it hesitates as soon as you try to give it gas and that’s it, it won’t go. I had this happen one time when moving it out of the garage.
So here’s where I’m at tonight. I don’t have any vacuum at idle to the distributor. The diaphragm will hold vacuum. And I have 16 Hg off the mainifold at idle. So I’ll have to check on that. That should be simple enough. I’m just reading this after I was in my garage.
And the million dollar question today... Can you use an oil pressure gauge be used to read fuel pressure? Some of my old mechanic friends said yes, some said no. Same with Google. So I tried it. I ran a T after the fuel line and before fuel rail and it’s components. I was only getting about 13 psi. So I changed the fuel filter and it was filthy. Like hit chocolate running out the one side. (I not sure if I can post a video, I’ll try). This car had been sitting awhile and had bad gas. I had drained most of the fuel out of the tank a few months ago.
So this weekend I’m going to take my fuel gauge set up and put it right after the fuel pump. If it reads about 13psi, my set up doesn’t work correctly. Or a weak fuel pump. If I get 30+psi, I probably have a clogged or rusted fuel line. Also, I have wires ordered. So I can put new plugs and wires in to finish the tune up.
That’s interesting about vacuum at idle to the distributor. That helps me out a lot. Thank you very much. I have another manual coming in the mail at some point next week.
