I just had a problem a few nights ago. Tach dropped to nothing, and when I tried to give it gas, it just kind of… lurched, and wouldn’t accelerate for no more than 7 or so seconds, then it finally took off just like nothing had happened. Mechanically, the engine is as strong as it can be, compression is great, idle is fantastic. But when I stopped it, and opened the hood, I saw some gas leakage from the exhaust manifold flange (Old gasket, need to replace it anyway) I think it’s safe to assume it’s an electrical or perhaps a fuel problem?
Car was sitting for many years, I drained the old gas, but I think I forgot to stick some injector cleaner in there. I should probably change the filter too. But since I saw the fuel there, it made me think it lost spark or something for a bit, and just chucked out some fuel.
Any ideas?
Thanks
