Re: 4kq fuel problems

[JShadzi@aol.com]

    Hmm, just wondering, where did you get the fuse from?  I hope you did not 
use one of the "spare" fuses on the drivers side of the fuse panel.  This is 
a common mistake, and will cut power to the CIS unit, causing some serious 
running problems...

 I am having problems with my recently acquired '84 4kq, The car ran fine 
until a
 few days ago when I blew a fuel pump fuse. After replacing the fuse, the car
 will not run properly. The car was purchased from a guy who had it in storage
 for a year with gas in it. I have replaced the pump inlet trap and the fuel
 filter, and the problem remains. The car will idle when cold, but stalls as 
soon
 as light pedal pressure is applied. When the car warms up, things improve
 substantially but the car lacks power. It seems to run better with light 
pedal
 pressure and bogs down with open throttle.
 
 I have monkeyed with the CO adjustment and for the car to run at all without
 missing I have it set way too rich (black smoke from the exhaust). I am
 attributing it to low system pressure, but perhaps someone can suggest other
 causes (I haven't checked for vacuum leaks yet). Also: the pump on the car 
right
 now is not the original--the guy replaced it with a VW pump. Remember, 
though,
 the car ran fine before the fuse blew.
