While I was driving around town last night my car ( 1987 Spider Graduate ) suddenly started loosing power and died in the middle of an intersection, thankfully I got it pulled over to a parking lot before I got rear ended. My question for you guys is, what do you think went wrong, why did the engine loose power?
I can tell you when i tried to re-start the car the engine would turn, but would not start, so I thought I might have been out of gas... I put 2 galons in her and the same story, she turns but won't start. When I sprayed starting fluid in her, she did start untill the fluid burnt off, so this tells me I have a problem with fuel flow right?
I changed the fuel filter about a month ago, and have not yet checked my fuel pump fuse, but when turning the igniton on, I thought i heard the fuel pump turn on.
Do you guys think my fuel line could somehow be clogged, or did my fuel tank pump die on me...or am I completely off track? Any help would be much appreciated guys. Thanks, Kyle
