740 still have problems but making progress 700

posted by  someone claiming to be frankford on  Tue Mar 30 20:19 CST 2004 [RELATED]

the car was giving me this problem all the time when I first bought it. A new harness was one of the first things I put on after I got it home. So to date I have put the harness, plugs, plug wires, distributor (the whole thing). All new belts including timing belt. Fuel system has had both fuel pumps changed out along with the hoses, new fuel regulator again new vacuum hose. The flame trap, assembly was replaced with a new one. New oxygen sensor was put on, new temp sensor for the temp guage. The intake gasket was replaced and the throttle valve cleaned up.

Now it will run during the day but not at night. The throttle bogs down if you slam the pettle but will recover.

It just accured to me how much I have dumped into this car and am still having problems. Anyone care to guess what I have been doing on my 2 month vacation? Thanks again
