[alfa] GTV fuel problem

[Andrew Fischer <amf26@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

This is concerning what I believe to be a fuel problem on my 72 GTV 
2000.  I thought I would ask for opinions here before I ripped into the 
fuel injection when I really didn't need to.  Anyway,  the car had been 
running rough, but only at low idle speeds, for about 2 weeks.  It 
would frequently stall at stop signs or traffic lights.  But once I got 
over approximately 1500 rpm, it ran fine.  On the highway the other 
day, it seemed as if the fuel supply cut out completely.  Luckily, I 
coasted to a safe stop and had the car towed home.  My immediate 
thought was the fuel pump.  However, when I advance the key one step, I 
can still hear the pump running.  But, the pump seems to run at a 
higher speed and I can't hear the fuel being sucked through.  I have 
not detected any gas leaks, on the pump, hoses, or near the injectors, 
although my wife with her super sensitive nose, constantly complains of 
gas odors.  Is there a fault in the pump, a hose leak, or is this and 
injection problem.  Any comments are appreciated.  Thanks!
