1973 - 1800 ES
When first brought back to life, the electronics, bit by bit, kicked in. Corroded terminals were cleaned where they were found, but it was still a slow progression that got us to a partial fire off. Rebuilt injectors were confirmed to be operating (thanks Phil), and tonight I confirmed gas pressure at 35 psi on the end of the cold start injector hose.
However, when I plugged the CSI back in, and cranked it with the ignition on, no fuel. Is there any way to do some maintenance on the valve? The first glance at replacement costs scared me.
Right now, I can keep it running by keeping the starter engaged, but it dies as soon as I release the starter. Ignition issue I'm thinking. I noticed that the car had had new tune-up parts, except the condenser, and the points were misaligned, even though new. So I got new parts coming for the weekend.
Anything else I should check?
Still having fun!
