Hi everyone,
I am having a strange issue with my car starting and running, I have stumped my mechanics and the guys at DMC so far.
I can ge the car to start and idle on accumulator pressure alone. If I allow the fuel pump to prime the accumulator, then disconnect the fuel pump by pulling #7 fuse, the car wil crank over and start (it takes about 15 cranks to get it to turn over). It will then idle nicely until it runs out of fuel pressure and dies. If I try to start it with the fuel pump connected, it never catches. I assume this means it is getting too much fuel.
Everything from the fuel pump to the fuel filter is new. John Hervey style in tank system. I get fuel from the cold start injector as I should. It's idles smoothly, so the distributor and warm up regulator must be working (based on my descriptions of the behavior to the guys at DMC california)
Fuel lines are routed properly, Return line is clear. Rpm relay seems to be working. Otherwise the pump wouldn't come on. right?
I'm stumped...
