Hi, I have a problem, I bought this 1978 fuel injection convertible bug and it ran just fine, well after I got it home I drove it one more time, afterwards I started her up again but as soon as it does start up it stalls, it seams as if something is cutting the gas. I have the gas tank half full, the batter is fully charged and it gets good spark. This happens ever time I try to run her again. Is there a particular part of the fuel injection system that I need to check out?

 

check for intake hoses off the ones behind the big intake boot always come off
check all hoses if any of them between the air flow meter and the throtle body coome off it wont idle

 

ya the fuel injectin ones did
they are a pain to work on

 

Thanks!!! we tested the fuel pump and it looks like the electronics is what the problem is. We
took the fuel pump off and then connected the hoses up without the pump and sense we put the
car up on some ramps the car started and ran until all the gas had flown out of the hoses, so we
tested the pump to see if it was good and it is!!!! So the electric isn't getting to the pump some
how. I need help again!!!!! Is there anything I should check out with the wires? I can’t find a fuse
or anything connecting to the wires, so I’m at a total loss. HELP!!!![]

 

there is a relay behind the back seat next to the coomputer you can jump 2 red wirers back there to bypass the relay
or you could pop the cover off the relay and see if the solder has burnt off a conection
the relay gets its signal from the air flow meter
you need to check the ground for the relay too it is at the battery a small brown wire that clips on to the neg. side of the battery i have seen them come off befoore
