It is still sitting there... 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be NW245 DeviL on  Fri Feb 22 01:26 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I love this car, only thing is, she don't love me.

I have another dead wagon story. A week ago, she drove like a dream. Perhaps a little underpowered, but thats alright for the Mrs. I was driving it when it happened. Sudden loss of power and then it died.

I replaced the fuel pump relay and cleaned up the connectors. Now it starts and runs for about 5 minutes and then it dies. It starts easy, no 'tapping on the gas pedal'. It misses a little bit in the cold phase, and then it misses a whole lot after it warms up.

I hear buzzing and and a pump going from inside. I drive it around the block and keep it running at the stops with the heal and toe method. I don't have the proper tools to diagnose the FI. The #11 fuse was burned and replaced. It is usually pretty hot, just 'not yet' blown. Is this related? I am clueless, the Haynes so far has not been much help.

I just know I am going to get Post Traumatic Stress from this problem if I dont ask for some help. Anybody remember seeing this before?
