Hello all, Making very small progress toward fixing my car (1978 spider). I have some new info and was hoping for further guidance.B 1. Got a friend with a high-quality ohm meter to test the fuel pump. It shows a steady 4.6 Ohms, which, from what I've read online, means that the fuel pump itself probably is not dead? Or am I wrong about that. 2. Under the dash, checked all the fuses. They all appear to be good. I've attached a link to a photo for reference. The little box with two more fuses on the left has only one fuse in it, but the leads from both of those fuses are disconnected and the car ran fine that way for years, so that's not an issue. Also the far left fuse slot was empty but appears always to have been so, but, having said that, a disconnected fuse came out of the box when I opened it. Could that fuse have popped out of that slot? 3. Checked the inertia switch, but don't really understand this. It doesn't seem to move. I don't know what it should look like in the on or off (or tripped or reset) positions. It doesn't seem to move. How do you reset this or be sure it's not tripped? 4. As for symptoms, still get a solid red low fuel pressure light. There is no fuel pump sound when the ignition is on. Car will no longer start (it started once after the initial failure and ran long enough to allow me to drive about 10 feet to pull the car into the garage back in January when this first happened). I assume it started before and ran a little just with fuel that was remaining in the system. Apparently getting no fuel at all now.B So, given this new info, how to proceed next? For reference, I've determined my car DOES have the auxiliary pump in the tank. It appears to have the later Bosch L-Jetronic fuel pump (with the crimped edges). Also note that this vehicle has dealer-installed air-conditioning, so it may have extra fuses etc. under the dash.B Thanks for any help. Colin B
