Hi all,
New here with my first post. I'll give you a little back ground on the car then tell you what it's doing. The previous owner had the injectors cleaned and some fuel lines and the filter replaced. It ran for a while then it died and he got sick of throwing money at it. I bought the car 2 years ago. It didn't run at the time. He had let it sit for a year or so.
I brought it home and pulled the fuel tank, took it to a radiator shop had it boiled out and a liner kit installed. Put the tank back in it with a new filter and pump and it ran like a champ. I drove it a fair amount maybe 1500 miles or so without any problems.
Money got tight and I let it sit for 8 months or so. When I went to fire it up it didn't want to run for me. Now, I want it running again I drained the fuel out and put fresh in. I can get it to start right up and I can drive it about 60 feet and it dies. If I try to restart it it will idle for a few seconds but then it dies again. I can let it sit for a few hours. I'm not sure how many minimum but over night seems to do the trick and I can drive it another 60 feet then it dies. I can't figure it out any help would be apprciated.
I can put my foot into the accelerator when I first fire it up and get it to around 4000 rpm but it drops fast and I can't get it to rev that fast again unless I let it sit. The problem has been getting a little worse as time goes by but it seems to have stopped about here. I was able to drive 160 or 180 feet to begin with a week or two ago.
