Well I fixed the pesky heater fitting, the Brakes & got her running after sitting a couple of years-:eek:
Darn I wasn't reminded of one other thing:

Cold Start: Starts right up: Then dies in a minute or so always will restart-

Warm Start: Again dies but I can usually idle her up above 15- 2K & she stumble till smooth- & sometimes the restart takes a mash to the floor to get her to run-

I get on those 4:10's & she stumbles after acceleration.

Sit at a red light stumbles once under way. Then clears out-

My PMD is maybe 15k-10k miles-just doesn't seem to act the same-

I'm thinking air leak?

No fuel leak evident-

Thanks in advance-

with all the troubles you seem to be having with fuel lines lately, i would go ahead and replace all of them. :o

Do you know of some other fuel leaks I don't?

You may want to check the lift pump. Should be located inside the frame rail approx below the driver, underneath the car. After sitting a couple of years you may have a bunch of crap in your tank and filter. You may want to drain the tank and change the filter. Good luck.

I'm going to have to fix the leak first to check off the obvious-

The reason it was parked 2 years:


The stumbling had started then
The Brakes needed pads
Then for the grand finale, the pesky heater bib broke off the thermostate crossover.
We had bought the Safari- & was good to go :).Thank you for the reply
