- 93 XLT
I could really use some help on this. I recently acquired a 93 XLT. It was a gift and was supposedly not running. I replaced the battery and turned it over. It turned over, started, ran for about three seconds and then died. It would turn over, try to run, but would never quite run. The next day, the same thing. When I cranked it, it fired up for a few seconds, died and would not fire up again until the first try the next day....I did a compression check, which resulted in an average of about 115 lbs. with no great variances between cylinders. I replaced the plugs while I was in there. It is definitely getting spark. I checked the fuel pump relay and straight wired the pump to run with the same results. Knowing it was getting spark and air, I replaced the fuel filter. Same thing. Thinking it could only be the fuel pump, I replaced it. Much to my dismay, same thing. I tried pinching off the return line to see if the regulator was letting all the fuel pass back to the tank. Same thing. I don't know. It just won't run. It really puzzles me that it will start and run the first try but never again till the next day. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
