I am having some issues getting a 75 with FI to run right and thought maybe some of you have had similar experience. It's symptoms are these: On startup, it runs just great. Starts right up. Runs smooth and decent power. Two or three minutes after it has been running, it seems to gasp and starve and then I have to pump it and floor it to get enough power and make it home.
I have been running through the various checks for many many hours now. I have already freshened up the ignition: fresh point, plugs, wires, rotor, changed out a failing coil and condensor, reset & checked dwell and then timing, set the valve clearance, did vacuum checks and fixed a slew of leaks. It has good fuel pressure, good vacuum now, and the dual relay checks out.
Perhaps the solution is to test each and every piece of all the systems, but that is really gobbling up the time.
75's sometimes have problems with those fuel pumps so after I get it running I'm inclined to go ahead and permanently install a fuel pressure gauge and a fuel pump indicator light.
Anyone had similar experience with a fuelie? I was hoping to not have to go through the entire manual to get it to run okay.
Appreciate any insight/ideas.
