Pulled out the purge line tee, down near the rad
draincock, and it was plugged up with some white
grease looking stuff. BTW, the small line that comes
all the way from the gas tank has a small brass
fitting which sits in the tee, which has a pinhole in
it. I cleaned that out and hopefully that will do the
trick.
The fuel pump age is unknown to me. But I am
wondering exactly what the CKP sensor is responsible
for the in EEC operation. Does it have any influence
on the air/fuel ratio?
