Subject: 1991 C4 died today .. help please. by Hensen on 2008/5/8 21:18:07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lent car to a friend. Car is low milage - 30k. Driving fine for 40 miles, then starts to miss. Over 10 mins missing gets worse. Then stops totally. Cut a long story short, we got spark. Spray " easy start" into intake and it fires up immediately and then dies as soon as the easy start runs out. Cracked open the petrol / gas pipe joint close to the front of the engine and the pressure seems good. Checked the fuses that I can see behind the cover on pass side. Seem ok. Car has had little use over the last 3 months but up till now always started up fine and drove fine. So, any clues ?? Any thing hidden, that I should know about. A fuse somewhere/ a relay somewhere thats famous for giving trouble ?? How do I test an injector with limited tools to see if they are firing, but no gas. Is it likely to be something not allowing the injectors to work, or a blockage in the rail area? Seems to be a clue that it took 10 mins to gradually die..........maybe like a blockage getting worse....or is it a case of an electrical problem getting worse. Please remember I live in west Wales, no napa, no chevy dealers, etc. Just the advice of uneducated sheep. |
