93 loyale fuel starved?


Recommended Posts

hey all,

 

have a 93 loyale with, i think, fuel issues.....filter is new......she fires right up, is strong for a few moments then cuts out completely for a moment, and is fines for a few....goes back and forth like that regardless of throttle position.

 

fuel pump pressurizes and regulator cuts outs, but when running i can hear the pump slow down just before the engine misses.......i am thinking its the pump......anyone with ideas?......i hate to spend the money .....i know there are other bits that might be the problem......but i don't have the knowledge or tools.....sure appreciate any input......i do have a spare fuel pump from an 85 turbo.....would that pump work in a 93?....

 

thanks

will do cougar....

 

new to usmb.....greats stuff.....spent several hours reading up...

 

i wonder if the cam position/angle sensor...not sure of the name....might be it.....i have a 92 loyale....may switch the bits and see if one or both does the trick....but not until i've checked the relay contacts...

 

thanks tons,

The crank position sensor is inside the disty. When it fails it usually means you will get no spark and have a error code generated. The ignitor is mounted on the outside of the disty or near it and that can sometimes cause strange problems with the ignition. The problem you are having sounds fuel related to me also.

hey Cougar,

 

thanks for the info.....think i have found the problem, at least most of it....pretty sure the connection between the coil wire and coil was poor.....very poor.....the coil itself is pretty badly corroded so it will be replaced

 

could've saved us both a bit of trouble had i just hooked up a timing light first time around....

 

thanks again for your help....again a great site, will return should the need arise

 

best,
