Engine Problem

[dbradley]

One thing that comes to mind is fuel pump pushrod. If its jammed up against fuel pump lever it could cause your symptom. Another item may be too long a bolt holding a manual transmission on. Could be dragging on pressure plate cover. Another issue I've seen is that the "newer" flywheels don't have as thick a mounting flange as OEM and you have to grind mounting bolts to clear rear of block.
