Mistery Starting Problem 89 L98
Background....Water in gas tank......cleaned it, put in fresh gas, and replaced fuel pump and all the parts you take out of the gas tank....Also replaced distributor, starter, and battery. Ran very rough for a while. Now it wont start. However, it ran great for about 2 minutes while my very good mechanic and I had it hooked up to a code meter. No codes. Computer seems to be working. He checked spark, fuel pressure, and also hooked up a few injectors to the node lights. Injectors are being told something. Any thoughts? Another note.....Gas gauge was showing almost full after we replaced those parts even before we put any gas in the tank........What would make it crank but not turn over? (Battery strong).....Why would it just start running fine and last about 2 minutes then shut down again and not start?

Disconnect and remove MAF, then try starting fluid into TB. If it runs, you still have a fuel delivery problem. That problem could be the Multec injectors.
Check out the sticky from FIC, at the top of this page.

Thanks
Thank you for the info...........We did the MAF and spray thing a few times..........started and ran rough as we sprayed the fluid in.......However, it still eventually stalled.....Then it takes a while to get it to start that way again....

with Agent 86. I had water in my tank and 3 of my Multec injectors were rusty. My car would run until it got warm then die. I have sinced replaced my Multecs with Bosh III from FIC and have never looked back. Just for the heck of it, the reason I had water in my tank was from a plugged gas drain and a faulty gas cap, check yoursGood luck
