No fuel pressure- 1972 164 w/D Jet 140-160 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be Ira Eisenberg on  Sun Mar 27 12:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]

There we were just moving along wonderfully in the 164 with D Jet, when the fuel pressure dropped to zero and the engine stalled. I know this because there is a fuel pressure gauge in the car. Anyway, after being towed home, I determined that there is plenty of fuel in the tank, the fuel pump runs for the 2-3 seconds when the key is in the run position and, because I have an auxiliary on off switch routed through a relay to the fuel pump I can make the fuel pump run continuously. Still no fuel pressure. I have not yet pulled the fuel line at the cold start injector or emptied the tank to see if the pick up tube is broken. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for all input.
