Now she won't run!
I just replaced my oil pressure swicth and my interior (gauges, carpet, seats, panels, etc.). I hadn't started her up in about three weeks. Now she won't run. These are the symptoms:
Turn it over and it runs or 30 seconds then dies. After that it wont start for 5 min. After 5 min it runs for 30 secs again. Could this be caused by a vacum leak or electrical. |

Fuel Pressure
Sounds like it's losing fuel pressure to me...just a guess.
I don't see how any of the installs you made would cause it... I have adopted the computer rule...only do one install at a time... then if things don't work...you can pin point it. But again, an oil pressure switch should have no effect on running. Maybe a loose wire somewhere?

Good idea, 1 at a time. I think I figured it out. The PO installed a kill switch in the rear floor board. When a swicth out the carpet I forgot to reattach it. Duh! Hope That's it. Sometimes it just help to talk it out. Thanks guys

How much fuel in the tank? Maybe pull the gas cap off and see if there is any vaccum that might indicate the gas tank isn't breathing.
These are cheap checks - it does sound like the accumulator or a very dirty gas filter. John
