Hey i need your help and your opinions. Ok to keep it simple, I just finished respraying my 86 (took almost a month due to probs) and got it all together yesterday so thought i might take it out for a drive. after about 10 minutes of driving i took a turn following my friend and next second i apply the trottle and the car starts conkin out!. so I got it towed home the next day, i had a similar problem which involed fuel. cause i can start it and it'll barely idle and if i apply the throttle instantly it dies!. so far i've replaced the fuel filter and i've checked to see if the pump was doing its job and it was. the filter is new of course so that cant be the prob and i checked. next what i believe is the problem is my injectors. I'm thinkin that they are dirty and need serivcing , replacing or cleaned? cause this same problem has happen ages ago and i waited a day and it started up again . at that time it was low tank but now i have over half a tank and its still conkin out at start up. Sorry if this doesnt make sense as i suck in english and very tired. Please need help THANKS JoHnNy_K

I actually don't have a AFM instead i got a MAP sensor. i've checked that too and thats fine. I'm thinking its something dirty eg the injectors as i have had this problem ages ago and waiting a day it was back to normal, but now it can barely start at all

If that first 10 min of driving you did was it since you got the car back from the shop and painted it, maybe check that the dizzy bolts haven't loosened, as the cap may have spun if whoever set your timing at the shop didnt tighten them properly.
Its a stupid thing but i'm sure its happened to at least 1 person. You'll just have to eliminate things 1 by 1. Start with easy things like this, its 5 min job to check ignition timing yourself.
Good luck.

Nah it's fine. Plus before the service my 4AGE conked out the same it does now, the last time it hapen i thought and was told it was a low tank which is causing the problem. this time i have over half a tank so which gives me the idea its something to do with fuel. my pump and filter(new) are fine and whats left is my injectors, could they be dirty????. Plus its not timing/ignition as if i start up the car the first few seconds it will idle almost fine then conk out which in my case is a lack of fuel delivery or whatever

Yeah i was thinking of taking out the injectors and checking them. Just wondering is it easy to take them out???. Do i have to remove the fuel rail and all the little hoses to get to the injectors? THANKS JoHnNy_K

what was the last fuel you put in the tank? you said its been a few months since you started it, ill bet 10:1 that if your last fill was Optimax that the fuel has gone bad, drain tank and try some fresh fuel, and never use Opticraps again

check your throttle position sensor u may have to check it with multmeter and adjust it with a fieler gauge. u can get the spec from engine manual

You'll most likely find a crap load of crap in the tank as well blocking up the pickup as well

Ummmmmm i have an update. The car is longer conkin out and how my friend magically fixed it was the kinda same way i did before, all he did was turn the ignition on (pump fuel) for like half an minute then start her up, it struggled then gradually it was back in action. Now we have come ot the assumption my pump is in need of replacement. First i'm goin to get it pressure check and see if its in need of replacing of not. Plus just wondering is it normal to hear a pump making a sucking noise at some points as if its sucking no fuel??? or is it cause i have a carby tank. Well what i'm asking is if you guys could give me any clues to see weather my pump is stuffed or not THANKS JoHnNy_K
