Turbone Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Check for vacume leaks. The same thing happened to me today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Does it start and run, but die if you don;t pump the gas? If so, you probably have some gunk (debris) in the carb that is not allowing a plunger to close. (Wish I had the specific carb part names). Sometimes it can be fixed by blowing it out or even reving the motor, putting a rag over the carb and pulling it off at the last second. It's a pretty easy fix.

edrach Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Both Turbone and northguy's suggestions are good and likely causes for what you have. But if that doesn't fix it, when's the last time you changed the fuel filter? You have two (sort of)...one is under the car next to the fuel pump (everyone forgets about that one) and you have a fuel separator (looks like a fuel filter) in the engine compartment (driver's side near the firewall). Try that next. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
