Engine, she no run 140-160 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be Robert Rogers on  Tue Jan 23 14:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have been faced with a problem on my B30F w. auto, and I have run out of ideas (and money-another story)to fix it.

The problem: The engine starts, runs rough, and must be accelerated to keep it running. Even after warming up, it runs rough and finally just idles slower and slower until it stops. The engine is basically solid, no internal damage or blown gasket, no excessive wear and tear.

Literally everything on the FI has been checked and/or replaced(even the control unit) and properly tuned, yet it won't run. It's a great little car-when it ran good-but that's the rub. The only thing left that I think may be the problem is the ignition, but I don't know how to approach that. I need ideas and fast! Help!!
