Starting Issue

[Gennaro]

Sudden Problem. 1974 1.8 . Car will start and run for about 15-20 sec. Seems to be running in start fuel but no run fuel. Replaced Fuel injection Power Relay, Fuel pump Relay and for good measure the Heater blower Relay. I show 12 volts at the rear fuse on the relay board. I presume that the fuel pump is working otherwise I would not get starting fuel. I am assuming that I'm getting fuel to the starting injector but not to the main injectors. Also do not hear the heater blower start when lever moved aft. Should I pull relays and check for power in? Or?

The round relays don't actually run the engine in the 1.8 L-jetronic cars. There will be a dual relay hanging off of the battery tray, and that is what powers the ECU and the pump.

Dave,
Thanks. I can't believe that I didn't look at that side of the engine compartment. The plug had come out of the dual relay. Well I guess the new round relays won't hurt. Thanks again for the help, without you I would have been walking for quite a while.

Not trying to hijack - just wishing There was one of these relays in my 73 1.7.
I am having similar problem. TheCabinetMaker is posting some things to try in my thread.
