1985 Engine died and won't restart...
I took a drive to a local store and drove around a bit after while testing my new AC system (it was in the high 80 degrees outside). When I pulled into the garage and let the car idle, it dropped to just about 2-300 rpm and I could not revive it. It died.
I started the car after a little while and it seemed okay, but was only run briefly.
The next day (today) I was heading out and the car will start, run up to 1,000 rpm or so very briefly and then die. If I keep the fuel pump on longer, then the car starts and runs for a bit longer, but then dies. Nothing I do with the throttle seems to make a difference.
I felt the ICV valve vibrating and I swapped out the DME Relay for one that has the full pump jumper on all the time. It still acted the same.
Fuel filter is relatively new at less than a couple thousand miles.
I am looking for some advise here...what to troubleshoot....
Thanks in advance!
