Thanks everyone. There's been a time lag in these posts.B
At present, the new fuel pump is in, the in-line filter and all flexible fuel
line has been changed and the car RUNS--if you disable the inertia switch. The
pump hums as before. We tried completely cleaning and rebuilding the inertia
switch, but the car won't run when the switch is in place--or the car starts
momentarily and then dies when it's in place. If you jumper the switch, the
car starts and runs. I drove it about five miles the other day.B
However, the car feels rough at idle in a way it hasn't before and you now
have to give the car some gas in order to start it--which was never the case
before. I'm just wondering what those two symptoms might suggest.B
I'm still working on figuring out how to replace the other two replacement
filters that I have--one apparently an engine compartment fuel filter, the
other the small Spica oil filter. Are these easy to do by yourself, or should
I take it to a mechanic. I'd like to save the money if I can.
Apologies for being such an idiot about these things--but I'm learning.
Thanks again to everyone.
Colin
