Hey guys, I'm new to the BII crowd, although I've lurked for quite a bit on this forum over the years for advice on 4 bangers.
My '89 2.9 starts easily, cranks to 1,300 revs then idles at 800-900. After about 20 seconds, it completely dies.
If I apply the gas, the revs will drop to near 0. Letting off the gas quickly brings it back to life to the same 800-900.
It has been sitting for a while, but the fuel filter seems to have been replaced recently (its cleaner than the rest of the underside)
To my knowledge, it is the single fuel pump in the tank, which I can hear prime if I turn the key but don't crank it.
Any ideas? Where should I start?
