Hi all,
Bought a 1988 ford maverick/ nissan patrol V6 petrol (carburettor) to complete a 12000km journey from sydney hugging the coast to Darwin. A few problems are arising but nothing an adventure this big doesn't deserve. I am a newbie when it comes to car mechanics however I am a quick learner and want to know how to do the basics myself. so far that has involved an interior stripping and rebuilding (back seats out, bed in!), roof rack/ box installation and some electrical wiring (radio, exterior lights and usb charging docks.)
I need some help for the next project..... looking to replace the fuel filter as there is some coughing and spluttering going on during acceleration and idle.
my question is.....where is the fuel pump fuse so i can lose the fuel pressure. any advice on the actual filter change would be much appreciated.
cheers!
