[urq] 83 urq fuel problem

[Brady Moffatt]

I had the identical problem in my 83 urq. But when I pulled the tank, there
was lots of crud blocking the pickup. I got it cleaned and coated. Now that
problem is solved.

Have you measured your fuel pressures yet? One good thing about the gauge is
that you can leave it connected while driving, and when the problem kicks
in, get out and check the pressures. In my case, system pressure started off
in the high 70's, then dropped to the mid 50's after a few minutes. I still
can't really figure out why the car would run fine for a few minutes every
time.

On to the next problem (huge exhaust leak at the head)....

Cheers,

Hello all,
I posted my fuel problem a few weeks ago and had some helpful responses.
My problem still exists however. A brief recap: After about 5 minutes of
running the fuel pump starts to buzz, followed by fuel starvation and a
limp home. I have replaced the fuel pump twice, all filters, warm up
regulator, fuel distributor (sent it in for rebuilding but it was ok, so
they gave a remanufactured one). I have pulled the tank, flushed it,
found no dirt. Fuel lines are clear, the metal lines have been visually
inspected but not replaced. The air meter does not appear to be
sticking, the car starts up great (10 degrees this am) runs great until
it starts to run like crap. What have we missed?
