[s-cars] Help: Stuck on side of the road

[Mike Claire]

Damn it I'm almost positive it's fuel and I bet it's the pump. 141K miles.

No time for excuses now, just please help me do a roadside diag and
I'll deal with it.

I've had low boost issues a long time and have closed in on fuel
pressure (not much left to look at). Planned to replace fp and fpr as
pm anyway.

I just did an Apikol coil conversion last week, runs great.

Before dying in 5th at a steady 60mph, I noticed a smooth loss and
regain of power. Smooth, not a cutout. I had hoped it was the stong
shot of Techron I just gave it (34 miles into a full tank -DAMN).

Here's what I got for tools - philips head, standard screwdriver,
needlenose and that's about it.

I managed to loosten the fpr hoping to look for rail pressure. I got
the clamp off, no seeping. Afraid to pull it up, don't know what will
happen (hot engine). It seems to be "corked" in (never took one out
before)

Car almost catches when I try to start, seems fuel starved and doesn't
run more than a second.


Thanks
Mike
