my car runs really smooth, starts up fine... the electronic fuel injection 1976 automatic 3 speed version.
but i took it for a drive after sitting for about 2 or 3 years, in a cool garage
very good condition, ac still cold , 112k miles.
i have dent in my gas tank, i have a new fuel pump, new fuel filters, newspark plugs, new fuel line hoses... seems like a fuel problem, but i suspect electrical, not sure how to check the fuse boxes regarding this problem.... or test the ecu or any other electrical things im supposed to look at to diagnose the issue.
after driving 3 to 10 miles it will start to loose acceleration, and as i press the gas pedal down more to a certain idle the engine wont respond. but if i let off to a certian level the engine will idle fine and eventully i have to pull to the side and shut the car off for about 1 minute... i tried disconnect and re-connect the battery hoping something will reset and most of the time i have another 3 or 10 miles till i have to repeat this again or i just have to try again with reseting the car.... most i've had to try was 3-4 times until it could go again for another 3-10 miles.
when i put the car in park though while its about to die out in reverse, or drive... the engine will rev fine.
no check engine lights, temperature gauge as well as rpm gauge work but seem to be off.
please help me i live in vegas or give me a call very desperate.
