Well my friend owns a FC. First off the natural aparated car was bought for $1000 so quility wasnt all thier.

The car was siting at a house for a long time.

*problems with the car.
include*

~The car wont even start, it dose turn over
~The times it did start..it wouldnt hold an idle..and later die
~ The car would shake at 800 Rpm
~the responce with the engine is horribal.
~when he drives it his foot is all the way down.
~he has to manualy turn on the fuel pump via switch
~thier is a crack in the exaust.
~when he got an oil change the oil smelled of gas.

(things done to the car)

~Optima Yellow top Battery [ i felt generous and i bought it for him]
~new spark plugs
~new wires
~oil change
~ cleaned ingectors [they were cloged under air pressure up to 100 pounds]

Any help would greatly be appreciated. My friend has been car-less for over 6 months.

Remember that the fuel pump is really rigged up. it is manualy turned on by a house light switch.

Thanks

It sounds like the motor is pretty much shot. Do a compression test using a piston tester. Put it in the trailing plugs and pull the EGI fuses. If you get below about 80-85 then thats probably the problem.
Also, the fuel cut switch is normal. Many people install them to help prevent flooding.
