My yellow car would have hot-start trouble sometimes in the past. With my delicate working of the throttle, I'd always get it to start anyway even when hot.
My buddy was borrowing the car recently. He told me he couldn't start it today, I figured I would start it fine once I got there.
When I arrived, it wouldn't fire at all on its own, BUT it would off starter fluid..
I can only assume the fuel pump has gone bad (86 FI X).
I'll check it out tomorrow, I don't even know if there is a schrader valve on the fuel rail to see if it has pressure like it should, or if I need to take the feed line off the fuel rail and check that way.
Pump should activate for a sec when the key is turned to acc, and when the engine is cranking?
RockAuto has the best deal for $112, bosch unit..
