My first guess is thermodynamics and fuel vapor lock. When the car isn’t moving with air flowing over the engine and radiator, heat builds in the engine bay and causes liquid gasoline to become vaporized. Especially modern ethanol blended gasolines. However, this doesn’t explain why the engine idle...

weber (that definitely needs at least a new gasket set. headed for a rebuild soon.)

Anybody have any clues as to why my car won’t get fuel when taking off after idling for a long time? Got stuck on the phone with my mom for maybe an hour and it’s cold out so i wanted to run the heater. Idle seemed fine, took off and it died like it’s not getting fuel. this is the third time it’s ha...

Anyone else’s emergency brake indicator light stuck on? I know it’s a dumb thing to be concerned about, but here we are, together, loving that feeling of getting closer to our tercel, one repair at a time.

Is there someone who’s found where the the sensor is stuck?

don’t know why anyone would break into one if these cars but i guess i should be grateful i don’t understand the mindset.. Noticed a couple other posts about NC junkyards having tercels. Called everyone and got nothin. Anyone know of a parts car on the east coast i could pull from? Lowest shipping c...

it was sitting for a little less than three months. i drove it around for about a week and then did a few hundred miles in two days before the issue started.

not sure if/how it’s connected but imo the more info the better on this forum

*solved*

thanks chris i’ll give that a try. is this temp solution not similar to starter fluid? i guess pouring gas would adjust the floats and change things again, still/always learning. my mechanical knowledge really only coming from driving hoopties my whole life and doing my own repairs more info: i’ve h...

‘86 w/ weber carb not getting fuel pulled the filter and emptied it, put it back on and turned it over a few times, filter fills back up but it still won’t consistently send fuel past the pump. so it’s the pump (?), but i’m reluctant to put it on that since it’s a mechanical pump. it seems like they...
