I purchased a pressure gauge and after work will be cutting in. I plan on leaving it in engine bay. Is this a bad idea,or ok. What pressure will I b looking for?
The car has 50,000 miles. Interior looks brand new. No tears, cracks, or wear of any kind. She has sat up for a long time. However the PO told me all this and that he had done a complete gas line drain and overhaul. And that he had been driving it off and on for about 6 months. And like I said, from Detroit to Atlanta I felt like a 20 year old again. Stopped 3 times for gas. No incidents. Tomorrow I'm going to cut open fuel filter I replaced to look for rust. This past tree weeks is the longest it's sat up since I've had it.but only because of this problem.
Not sure if this will have any bearing on problem, but I have also replaced the exhaust manifold due to a leak. Along with a 5 speed trans. Problem showed up less than 50 miles after this work. That's when I went for all the other parts I mentioned
I'm definitely no mechanic, but I flew to Detroit when I bought car. Drove over 750 miles without a hiccup to Atlanta.Even touched 115 mph a couple of times.could it still be timing? I'm leaning towards fuel pump. Monday I'm going to "cut in" a fuel pressure gauge. It will be permanent . Tomorrow I will be cutting the fuel filter I replaced to look for rust. Thank you for replying.
My z will start and idle, run a few seconds and die. If I punch gas it dies immediately. If I feather gas I can make it scream. To date I have replaced, wires, plugs, cap, and button. AFM, throttle body position switch, fuel filter and battery. Have not yet checked fuel pressure. Please anyone.........
