plays dirty when losing
So after blowing snow last night I was heading up to pick up the Sunday night pizza when the '85 died. No warning, acted like it was out of fuel. Fortunately I came to rest at the top of an incline and I could push it into a gas station. Also fortunate, I had my tools in the front seat with me.
I checked to see if I had power at the pump, which I did, pressed the schraeder valve on the filter, got a little air, so I cracked #2 and jumped the starter solenoid to see if I was getting fuel, and she fired right up.
I'm assuming that my 12V connection at the pump was not made and jiggerin' with it remade it, but here's the strange part: When I cracked #2 and it was running, it didn't stumble a bit. In fact nothing changed. Prior to and now it runs fine. If I had a bad injector, it'd run bad, right?
Oh and now that line leaks a little bit.
