I asked jason about this the other day and he suggested use the diagnostic box but it doesnt seem to work for me.
Anyway the problem: i was driving along the highway the other day and the rev would drop from 3 to 1.5 and then back up, like the call was wanting to stall.
This happened again today and the car wont start, it's firing, it seems like there is no fuel getting through, its turning over just not starting.
The possible problems i think it maybe are:
fuel pump, filter or something else to do with fuel (the car was carby before it was converted to run the gze)
The afm
Or i was told it might be the distributor modulator stuffing up.
Im gonna try get it down to the mechanic this arvo, but if any of you have any ideas to what it might be please tell!
The engine is an afm 4agze

if you slightly push the afm flap does the fuel pump start? I know that is how my car is wired to run, different motor though

fuel pump could be dead, also check to see if you are getting power to the pump. hell it could also have just had it's wires come loose. check all plugs etc.

Um a gze has coil packs and doesnt have points, or thats what i thought anyway.
Anyhow i reconnected the coilpacks and made sure all the wires in the engine bay were upto scratch, and the car now runs, and has done about 60kms without a problem

Make sure you have a good earth for your igniter. After i hit a bump my car stalled and would not restart. The igniter bracket had shifted slightly and was not earthing properly. Put a seperate earth in and no more dramas.
