ok so im changing the fuel lines on my 88 GL.
i did the left side of the engine. then realized i was out of ABA stainless clamps.
ive done other fuel line replacements to with out a hitch.

so anyways on the way home from the garage....i had no power..it would build up..then go down..build up then go down..
it feels like its not getting fuel.

so i barely made it home...
i did the fuel injector spray test...
its seems to be pulsing fuel normally..
confused..

oh.. it ran perfectly normal before i did the fuel line change

no power in pittsburgh

Same problem here after replacing lines and rebuilt injectors on '84 1.9. Been running tests and trying things for 2 weeks and has become a complete mystery.

Make sure the plugs for the injectors are pushed all the way in.

Im an idiot. When istalling feul line i did not strap the 02 sensor wire back up. It was burned by the exhaust pipe sending the computer freaky signals. All fixed now
