My '81 1.7 gas pickup started running rough over a few week period. Feels like a miss. I pull the #2 plug wire off and nothing happens. No spark? Ground plug wire, good spark, pull spark plug, good shape. No fuel? Pull injector, Fine cone-shaped pattern? Not. A squirting, dribbling fuel spray. Replace injector with new. No change, still erratic spray pattern. Before I start throwing more parts at this thing where do I turn to next? Fuel pressure? I noticed a few drops of fuel on the outside of the fuel pressure accumulator. What else could explain this seeming loss of fuel pressure? I don't have a fuel pressure guage. Mike
