L-Jet problems

Hi,

As some of you know, I just drove from LA to Corpus Christi
last weekend. The car gave me no major problems! It was
missing a bit but only around 3000 rpm. By the end, it would
not idle at all, but still ran okay.

Now that it is home, it won't start. It cranks and may fire
for a few seconds, and then die. I have checked the TPS, the
air flow sensor (appears okay). Fuel pump is running. Fuel filter
was changed last weekend. Some times it backfires a little in
the engine compartment. I'm getting frustrated!! It doesn't
help that 914club is down!

Oh yeah, there is a sensor(?) disconnected. It is not the one by
cylinder 3, it is one mounted on the rear of the engine into the
vertical aluminum plate under the throttle body. It has a heavy
whitish wire on it. Could this be related?

This is a '75 1.8 L-Jet.

I'd really love to get it running again. I have to get it regisitered!

Can anyone offer some suggestions of things to check?

Thanks,

Jeff
