Sadly only fuel filter on the car is the sock filter on the pump and I have replaced that.

And I have checked the timing belt twice since starting this project. And so far so good. When I initially got it together after replacing the timing belt the car ran for an ok amount of time. Probably around 5-10 minutes. Than just died out. The previous owner said thats the longest it has run in a while. Ever since than it has continued doing the start, run for not even a minute, and die.

If i can get it into a garage I am going to check the timing on more time. But I am not sure when that will be. As of right now I am doing all the work outside.

Also I have tried using starting fluid and it has the same affect. Spits and sputters like its attempting to start but wont take off.
