240 fuel/electrical problems 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be josh on  Tue Mar 12 07:36 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Fuel pump won't run on first attempt to crank car. After trying to crank and leaving the key in the on position the pump switches on and off at about 2 second intervals. When I try to crank the car a second time the fuel pump runs, but car does not start. Spark plugs are wet with gas.

The car was run in limp-home mode for a week until I got a new AMM. After I replaced the AMM, the car would not start. Checked the plugs, and they were coated in filth, and after wiping them off, car ran fine. I replaced them anyway and the car ran fine for about two weeks but with terrible gas mileage.

The wiring harness was just repaired and all wires are fine.

Please help
