2bornot2b Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 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 2bornot2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Before replacing the pump I would make sure that the power to it is ok and there isn't a problem with the relay contacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 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.

2bornot2b Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 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, 2bornot2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
