1987 N/A 245. A friend and myself picked this one up to fix up and sell. I've actually contemplated keeping it as its a nice slick top that ran great...till this afternoon.

Had it running great till I tried to move it to paint the lower trim.cranked to a rough idle....bucking and surging....got it over and put it into park...the idle went to 1500....then to 2000. Ran great...smooth as silk....but at 2000 rpm.

Give it gas and it would rev...and then drop back to 2000rpm. Ran it for 10 minutes (trying to get it warm and make sure thermostat was working and such). Turned it off and restarted with a stumble then idled at 1000rpm for 15 seconds then went to 2000rpms.

Turned it off again....and now no start.

I've checked: fuel pump/relay is good, have spark, checked the injectors with test light, fuel is at the rail, 25amp fuse is good, timing belt is good, rotor is good. I unplugged the maf and no change...still no start.

The throttle returns to its stop, so it's not that it's stuck giving gas.

Car ra n fine this morning. Did nothing to the fuel system today.

Help! Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chris
