Hello everyone,
New to this website here. Owner of 79 Thunderbird with Ford 302 and 2150 carb. No place to ask a question, and I know thunderbird and mustang shared the same engine. So, im here.
Here is my problem.
Original everything, Motor craft 2150 carb. The carb is reman installed week ago, fuel hose, couple other hose replaced as well. The problem is, The car will crank but will not start. The problem cause twice till now, both of them happened after I drove for a while, and all after a really rough idle, jump from 200-500rpm,. And the engine dies, and wont start after that. Last time this happened, I waited about 2-3 hours after the vehicle completely cold, then I am able to fire it up. Checked the fuel, I can see fuel been pumped into the engine when I push the throttle pedal(pump). Didn't check sparks, will do if next time this happened. Didn't check alternator. Battery is ok, starter is ok, Cranking is strong, but just wont start.
Just happened again, and after let it cold down for 15 mins, tried to start it, after cranking for 15 seconds, it start but really rough idle, after give it some throttle it runs normal.
