Technical Spider starting problem

[koosfan]

I have a 1981 fiat spider. Fuel injection.

It was in storage for two years------but started
right up. It ran great for a week or so and
then failed to start.

The fuel filter was clogged-----gas tank was
a little rusty. Tank was cleaned, new
filter was installed.

but it still won't start-----ideas? suggestions?

I have the same problem. I just got my 82 Spider. The P.O. had it running last week, but now it won't start. Runs on starter fluid (ether), but not without.

You guys need to get a Fuel Injection Diagnosis manual (available from several vendors). Both sound like fuel delivery problems: fuel pump, bad/stuck/clogged injectors etc.

Thanks George. I found this...

I'll see if that does the trick.

Got my fuel pump out today and it is messed up... Couldn't pump a river down a mountain. OEM replacement or Carter?
