I think it might be the regulator. I’ll also try to see what the pressure is for the fuel pump. I hooked a hose up to the fuel line and turned it over and it fill a bottle up really quick. Sure hope it’s not the fuel pump, don’t really want to drop the tank. I’m an old man and don’t think I could do it myself.
Thank you for the advice. |

As you probably already know, the regulator is easy to change. Small investment so I would just change it. With today's gasohol and 37 yrs on the road, it could have very well eroded away.
I would also check if the injector is spraying correctly. They do clog and new ones are available. You can look in to see if it is spraying but wear eye protection and use extreme caution.
To replace the fuel pump, the rough part is draining the tank. After that it just disconnect the power connector, the fill line, gas vapor and return lines and after about 10 connections of nuts and bolts removed the tank will drop right out. Its not heavy, Be sure to spray with penetrant before attempting bolt/nut removal. If you break a hangar new ones are available . The job is pretty easy IF you have a lift. If not you got to get the car up about 2' and use a creeper and crawl under. I stopped doing that years ago when we purchased the Rotary Lift.
