First time van owner
Hello all, got myself a 1984 1.9 automatic petrol T25, it’s my first one. ‘Watch out’ everyone warned me they’re money pits. Not this one I thought as I headed out of my driveway. Fast forward 3 weeks and now it sits in the same spot whilst I hold my head in my hands. She starts fine, then as soon as I go to drive the engine dies, I can start it again no problem. I’ve changed the dizzy, rotor arm, plugs, fuel pump and filter plus air filter. What am i missing?
Also can anyone recommend a person in the Worthing area who can help me out?

Faulty inhibitor switch maybe?

How long have do you run it before trying to set off
Re: First time van owner
Turn up the idle on the carb (assuming it is standard pierburg) and try again.

Re: First time van owner
I’ve managed to get it going, turned out to be a faulty vacuum advance pump. Glad I changed pretty much everything to do with fuel and electrics.
