Which year and fuel system do you have?

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

It's 1985 it's an injection system with fuel pump and accumulator on the underside of the car

There is also the under side and an in-tank pump that can get clogged or the interconnect hose that connects the in-tank pump to the sending unit can cause fuel limiting issues as well.  There is a separate filter/sump/swrilpot that is attached to the drivers side of the fuel tank, you can only see the white bottom of it and the clip that holds it to the tank.

To inspect the tank, you have to have 1/2 to 3/4 of a tank of fuel.  If it is any fuller than that you will need to siphon it out to get it to the minimum levels needed to open the tank.

There are a plethora of rubber hoses that go from the tank to the sump to the accumulator to the pumps, and plenty of vent lines as well.

Fuel lines and other parts you may need, they also offer discount if you are a member.

bottom of the page are the flexible fuel hoses to replace the ridged hoses.
