sputtered and died when hot
This may mean a full run through of my fuel system, but just in case anyone else has had the exact same problem...
Vehicle is a 74 with 1.8 (L-Jet FI)
I was driving home in bumper to bumper stop and go traffic yesterday, after watching the races at Laguna Seca (fun time!!)
Anyway, when the engine got hot, about 3/4 up the un-marked temp gauge, the engine died for about 3-5 seconds, then fired back up. It did this about every minute, at 2500 RPM or better. It seemed to come back to life quickest when I would relase throttle, and then jam it to the floor.
My first thoughts were:
Fuel Pump?
Throttle Switch?
FI Brain?
FI contacts?
Relay?
Before I pull all that apart, anyone else had this problem?
The race weas great, by the way. Max Papis drove beautifully. And I got some great shots of Dario Franchiti's girlfriend (Ashley Judd) riding his scooter side saddle!
