LoveX1/9s
True Classic
My 85 X 1/9 used to stall out while driving.
Now it does not start after driving. I can drive it a block or miles but once I turn it off, it won’t start for hours. It feels a little rough but its almost perfect. That said, I always feel like I’ll be stranded. Sometimes, it will start right up after a drive it - It’s a mystery.
I’ve replaced, the fuel pressure regulator, the fuel filter, fuel pump, coil (it fried) which lead me to replace the fuel injection brain and the car ran fine for about a year – no more stalling at speed. About 3 weeks ago, it stranded me upon start. So, I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and it ran great until yesterday – when it wouldn’t start for hours after driving it 30 miles.
Is there an easy way to check for vacuum leaks without using flammables? Should I just replace all the vacuum lines and while I’m at it the fuel lines? I have the book but I figure, if it’s rubber, just replace it.
I’m guessing I can use a fuel line as a vacuum line. Is that right?
Or is there anything else I should check?
Thanks in advance.
