In cold start I have to smooth it out with a few revs and when I'm driving in low rpm and push the pedal too hard nothing happens really. I have to pull back and then ease it inn to overcome that threshold. After it's warmed up, it is alot better but still some hesitation. Problem is it's always col...

It looks like all vacuum, I'll check it out this weekend as it's always dark when i'm not working.

Well the acceleration is very uneven and I guessing it has something to do with air/fuel ratio. If I push too hard on the pedal it chokes and no acceleration occurs, so I have to ease into a high throttle. I wan't to spend some time finding the sweetspot where it runs as good as it can. Maybe there ...

Does anyone have the hitachi carburetor manual pages in digital form? Those pages are missing from my copy.

First there is a switch that acts as the first step that turns on the radio an such and also turns off the ignition relay and therefor the engine. Then there is the codelock with a relay, you have to input the code to turn on the ignition. Then you can turn on the engine with the start button. Actua...

Since I opened up the dashboard to measure out the electronics I fitted a codelock for the ACC and a start button :P. I already fitted a remote doorlocking system so no keys needed

New fuel pump fitted and wires soldered together, now it's better than ever . Thanks for the help guys.

Turns out both the fuel pump and the electric system for it was not working.

Alright I have a facet universal pump and I'm going to fit it tomorrow since it's a day off from work. One thought occurred to me when I was digging around in the service manual, is it possible that the oil pressure switch is failing or has terminals in need of cleaning?

I removed the pump from under it and tested it inside. It pumps once every second or so, is that normal?

No actually I poured fuel into the carb myself. No fuel enters the carb when I use the fuel pedal. I hooked the fuel pump up to direct 12v and it did not run. When I disconnected the fuel line by the pump the fuel filter didn't look dirty at first look.

Yes I got spark. I sprayed fuel directly into the carb and it ran fine for a few seconds. Do you think the fuel pump is not producing enough pressure to reach the carb? That the fuel pump itself is giving out?

Well I think I can rule out the fuel pump since there's bunch of fuel in the fuel line, unless there something clogged in the hood.

Man I have the worst luck these days. I put 12V directly into the fuel pump and cranked... still nothing. Seems my suby is falling apart on me :S.

You may be on to something, I have been battling floods in the trunk. Maybe there's water damage under the carpet. First chance I'm lifting the carpet and look what's going on under there.

Sorry for the late reply, sure I can email them to you. But I'm in a real pickle. Seems that the electric is going haywire. I can't seem to locate the malfunction to the fuelpump. Also all the window motors stopped working except for the driver side. Weird stuff is going on. It sounds like a plug ha...

Sure. I also have a engine dis- and reassembly instructional videos that I found somewhere if anyone is interested. Question is how it is best to share those on the web.

ghostgum scanned some pages for me. The internet versions don't have the harness diagram.

The brake discs and pads replaced, wheel bearings replaced... then when I was going to test it out the fuel pump stopped working suddenly :S. I measured the voltage and it only received 6v to the pump. It seems to work fine if I put 12v directly to it. I'm starting to wish I had bought the complete ...

There's a connection failure to the fuel pump in my suby and I'm looking for a harness diagram to be able to trace the wires properly.
