2 4. Assuming the engine is at operating temperature, check that the throttle arm on the rear of the injection pump is almost touching the reference screw. If there is a large gap, the thermostatic actuator may have failed causing a grossly over-rich mixture. 5. Throttle cable attached and in good c...

3 If the reason is overheated fuel, causing vapor lock/cavitation, this will only make it WORSE. Adding cool fuel may temporarily help a failing pump to put out more pressure. See Fig 2. LIMP-IN: An extra small hose clamp, stout wire tie, an adjustable wrench, or Vice-Grips can be used to partially ...

4 LIMP-IN: Turn off engine and let remaining fuel cool or add cold fuel to tank. . 5. Clogged fuel feed line from the tank to fuel supply pump. In cars that sat derelict for long periods of time, it is quite possible that sludge, varnish, rust, or other foreign materials have contaminated the fuel t...

7 g. Drive to a place where the retaining spring can be replaced properly. Do not consider this any more than a very temporary repair. OEM springs are no longer available, but duplicate springs can be made by a good gunsmith. Method 3, Reset and Be Careful: You can remove the Barometric Compensator ...

8 IV. SYMPTOM: Engine stops suddenly or exhibits random "cutting-out." Restart attempts fail, although the engine may initially fire, but then die as the key switch is released from the start to the run position. 1. POSSIBLE CAUSE: Shorted Fuel Cutoff Solenoid (FCS) microswitch on bottom of ...

9 V. SYMPTOM: Engine fails while running or fails to start. Seems to be a very lean mixture condition. 1. POSSIBLE CAUSE: Failed Barometric Compensator. This is very uncommon. The Barometric Compensator is a sealed bellows unit that expands or contracts with absolute atmospheric pressure, thus enric...

12 3. POSSIBLE CAUSE: Broken injection pump drive belt. The drive belt is very sturdy, however, it is relatively unresilient. If a piece of foreign material (distributor hold-down nut, for instance) fouls the belt, it is likely to snap rather than stretch. TOOLS REQUIRED: Spider/GTV/Berlina models: ...
Page 15 - POSSIBLE CAUSE: Flooded Engine; that the fuel injection pump will deliver even more fuel.; Remove and dry the spark plugs. Blow some air in the cylinders.; OR
15 IV. SYMPTOM: Engine will not start, or is balky at start attempts and smells of raw fuel. POSSIBLE CAUSE: Flooded Engine If a start has failed and you smell gas, it’s likely you inadvertently flooded the engine. To clear a flood on a SPICA injected car: 1. Wait it out. Holding the accelerator ped...
