Took the 78 vert on a little cross-country trip yesterday (cross-state actually). Its a 78 1600cc fuel injected little beauty that I recently purchased. I guess it hadn't been driven that far in a while, but after about an hour on the road, the rotten egg smell was overwhelming. I figured the voltage regulator was shot and was cooking the battery. Because I'm about 60 miles from home by this time, I figured I'd unhook the battery and try to limp back home on alternator juice alone. Well you guessed it, the VR really was gone and without the battery to absorb the over voltage situation, I made it another coupla miles before she left me stranded.
Now, my question. Since I've checked all of the fuses that I know of, I'm looking for advice on how to troubleshoot the problem. The engine spins, but won't run. I suspect I've fried one of the fuel injection components, but because I really dont know what to check first, I'd really appreciate advice on what to check and in what sequence.
Any advice appreciated!!!!
Thanks jim
