Ok...so where should I start. I can put gas all day long in the intake and it will stay running. Remove that supply and it dies. I thought maybe after it warmed up good or shook some, it would make something start working again. Where should I start looking for problems. Fuel or electrical ? New trigger points, but I guess they could have gone bad...or would it not run even with putting fuel into the intake. VERY frustrated at this point !!! Did I ever mention I HATE FI systems :) David --- Keith Park <topnotch@nycap.rr.com> wrote: > a 70 should have a D system... but check your part > numbers on the Brain and > Pressure sensor... and even the distributor to make > sure someone hasnt > mismatched parts in the past. > > > Keith > > Keith Park > > Top Notch Restorations > topnotch@nycap.rr.com > 71 Squareback > 65 Notchback > 65 Squareback > 75 Opel > 87 Golf > 88 Rx7 10th Anniversary > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Engle" <fl1958ghia@yahoo.com> > To: "Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com> > Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 11:33 AM > Subject: 70 T3 FI question > > > > Keith, > > > > Thanks for the information.
