Car 1 71 FI manual square. It's running lean. I suspect that it is air getting in the fuel lines. When it hasn't been running for a while it takes a long time to start. to test this I shorted the two connectors on the fuel pump relay under the dash for about a minute before starting it. Took off the short and it started right up. I stopped the car and shorted the relay again to test the fuel pressure. I noticed an odd sound coming from the fuel pressure regulator. The sound coming from it sounds when you use your tongue to push some drool between your teeth. Is this normal or is it a sign of a LOT of air getting in the fuel lines? The fuel pressure is 28. I've replaced all the fuel lines at the back end of the car. I plan to replace the ones in the front when the tank is nearly dry. Car 2 71 FI automatic square. When I make a hard right or a fast right on a freeway entrance it seems that the engine is cutting out. I can't tell if it is ignition of fuel. I tried to duplicate it by jacking up the side of the car with it running but I guess I can't get the side high enough to mimic the centrifugal force that is causing the problem. How to I find the problem with this?
