I tried to get it to start I was going down hill, put it in 1st, let clutch out, then 2nd, didnt work. I think I have 2 problems, it wouldnt crank, so I think its a bad connection where my clutch pedal needs to be pressed in to start, I fiddled with it and it turns over now. But it wont start up. it may be flooded, I will let it sit. I also have a problem every now and then when i am driving it sort of backfires and I lose a bit of power. My friend said it was the fuel pump? Car is just sitting now, hope I dont have to tow it. I changed the fuel filter and added a techron treatment just an hour ago, when on a drived. This is all the facts,anyone an expert what do you think I should try?
