Now that I have my starter starting. I'm hoping to go for ignition.
Car ran last year, PO said he had fuel supply issues.
Has oil
Turns over
new plugs
I'm planning on: putting in fresh gas, leaving the dizzy cap off, plugs out and cranking it for a bit while holding the air flappy dude open a bit and also seeing if oil pressure comes up, hopefully also pressurizing the FI while flushing gas through the system to get fresher stuff where it counts.
Putting plugs and dizzy back together and going for explosions (controlled ones, in the cylinders).
Sound alright? Is it enough to simply leave the dizzy cap laying off to the side while cranking (plug wires not touching or near anything conduction)? Don't want to anger the ignition system but don't really want spark until I've got some fuel pressure and oil pressure.
Or should I just button it all up and go for it all at once?
PO told me it ran and idled fine last year but wouldn't accelerate, trying to caused stumbling and stalling.
Could be bad gas, clogged filter, loss of pressure somewhere.....he put on a new fuel pump (didn't do a very neat job BTW).
