stalling when hot/under load
Posted by Veeate (more from Veeate) on Thu, 26 Oct 2000 12:41:30
High, I'm new to the list.  A few months back I bought a 1985 900 from my
brothers - girlfriends - uncle who was the original owner. Its been well
taken care of and has all its paperwork. 290,00 miles but purrs like a
kitten.

Anyway, I need help. The last few days it has been stalling at odd times.
It only seems to happen when the engine is hot. Even then, it still idles
fine and rev nice out of gear, but as soon as you put it in gear and start
off it dogs and dies like its not getting fuel. I checked and it does have
fuel at the filter though. You can then take it outa gear and restart it,
but soon as its back in gear and under load it wants to die again.

It happened first in town, but I managed to get it to work by restarting it
every 50 yards or so. It ran fine later that night once it had cooled off.
Yesterday it happened on the freeway. I was cruising along, the car
running fine, and then without warning it just died.

I have never worked on fuel injection so I really don't have a clue where
to start on it. What could this be? Someone please help, I need it to get
to work!
