Hi, I am asking for some help diagnosing a fuel injection problem. I havent worked on this system in many years and have a slow leak in my head.
77 type 2, 2 Liter engine, dragged it home after PO stored it for years, he bought it not running also. I replaced the air flow meter with a reman from Busparts, as the old one had the cover removed and then corroded and mice nested on the board. The cyl head temp sensor looks like it was replaced, still nice and clean. I changed the fuel filter and all hoses, flushed out the tank. New ignition parts, compression is only 85 PSI on #3, but i will not assume it's bad until lifters have pumped up a while. It tries to start but won't light, plenty of spark and noid light flashes. I disconnect fuel side of double relay and it fires up and runs til fuel pressure gone. With relay attached, runs to 39 PSI, and tries to light but if it does barely runs and dies when throttle pushed opened any. Disconnect relay, fires right up til out of gas. My thoughts are bad computer or defective air flow meter, but havent run resistance test on meter yet. Any clues?- posted
