So, I JUST bought myself a cherry 1971 2002 with 82k original miles. In the past 9 years it has been driven less than 4000 miles. Anyways, I drive to get the car, I get the car, it makes it over 200 miles back towards home but 60 miles from home it breaks down.
... 100 miles from the break down point, I notice the tach was acting funky and reading like 2000RPM higher than what it is actually is at. The car stalled while driving. I looked and it was not getting fuel so ...
on the side of the road at 10pm I am taking apart my fuel lines to check for a clog. There was none. Then I looked in the carb to make sure nothing was wrong in there and there was not. I sat for a while, the cops happened to stop by and set up some flares for me. Luckily I have AAA Elite so, they managed to flatbed it to my house for me which was near the limit of the 100 mile max free tow.
So, now the car sits in my driveway, not able to go anywhere.
Please help me figure out what is wrong.
Cliffs:
- Cars tach started to act funny, I didnt think much of it.
- Kept driving then car died while driving
- Check fuel lines, no block
- Check carb, no problems
- Fueses are not blown
I am so stumped.
Thanks!
