Re: 1800 won't start (long) 1800 1971

Scott:

Today, I got spark. Checked the coil and took the hot wire from the coil and pointed it to the block and there is spark. Now, this means that if there was gas going to the injectors, then the car would start. So I think the electric part may be solved (hopefully). When I first try starting the car, the fuel pump would not come on. Then after disconnecting and playing with with for a while, including taking the damm thing apart and putting some WD40 in it, it starting working.

That's why I mentioned previously that it may not be sending enouth fuel to the rail/injectors. I took the fuel lines off today and there is no fuel at all. So it may be that the fuel pump is gone. The other problem I noticed was the the throttle switch is not working. With the ignition on, I move it back and forth, and I do not hear the little clicks as the throttle switch moves, do you think this may have something to do with it? I have another fuel pump from a 75, 164e, but they are not the same. I'm wondering if by using this pump, it will deliver fuel to at least clear/clean the lines. I thank you greatly for all your information. I went ahead and ordered a new fuel pump (you right, this thing is pretty expensive) and expect to get tomorrow late. Please keep me posted, I will do exactly what you told me to. This thing is going to run one way or another.

Thanks,

Luis
