cdatt Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Well guys, it turn out to be a stuck injector like you said... Thanks for all the help. I know now that if I ever have any other issues to come here.Thanks again,Cdatt I have a 1987 Conquest that ran up until about a week ago. I had not started it for a week an decided to start it up, but the battery was dead, (it has happened before and was not a big deal) after chargeing it I tried to start the car and it would not go, after looking under the hood I found the car was flooding and gas was comming out by the turbo waste gate. So with that, I decided to pinch off the main fuel line with a vise grip, sure as day the car started but as soon as I removed the vise grip it stalled again. to tell you the truth it smelled real bad too.anyboy out there have any ideas what happened???any help would be great.Thanks,Cdatt... P.S. I need a fuel feed line now that I pinched the hose som many times and put a hole in it... Edited June 3, 2010 by cdatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvolvedRotary Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Sounds like in addition to needing a new fuel line, you may also need new fuel injectors or at the least injector seals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighterpilot Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) First - pull the tubing off of the TB which goes to the bottom of the fuel pressure regulator. See if it has gas in it. If so, your fuel pressure regulator's diaphram has given up the ghost. You need to replace it. This is probably your root cause of the extreme flooding. Second - replace the fuel line that you wore a hole in. That's a real PITA. Third - Dump the engine oil and probably your old oil filter too and add a new load of oil and filter. Fourth - It wouldn't be a bad idea to pull your spark plugs and take a look at them too. For What It's Worth.

cdatt Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks for the help.Any idea where I might be able to get the parts?Cdatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighterpilot Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Here ya go for the FPR. You can trust these used parts to have been tested and are good. http://sqperformance.forumcity.com/viewtopic.php?t=89 I am assuming that you holed the HP fuel hose between the HP filter & the fuel pressure regulator. It's Mistu PN is MB43 3990; see the above link for the HP fuel hose upstream of the HP fuel filter. For What It's Worth.

Indiana Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Take the pipe off that leads into the throttlebody, get a light or use a mirror and look in there and have someone turn the key so the motor rolls over and watch. You see fuel in pulses or just spraying all the time? If you have cranked and cranked and your battery was low you may have loaded up the cylinders so bad and it never started that fuel that was in there does get blown out into the exhaust and it will leak from that gasket where the turbine meets the first convertor/downpipe. Your spark plugs are also fouled, they won't fire until they are dry so cranking the motor more just is making it worse. As mentioned, ONLY if you pull that little hose off the bottom of the regulator and fuel runs out does that mean its leaking and needs replaced. If not there's nothing wrong with it. You got dirty injectors or a dead ignitor and it just won't start. For a stuck injector it won't matter if its plugged in or not, if its just dirty and sticking open then unplugging it may let it stay closed. You sure you have ignition when the motor is cranking? Many places that clean injectors, local or online such as www.witchhunter.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Thanks for the lead. sounds like your not too up on fuel inj cars,, take some advice do not try starting an engine that has so much fuel in it it actualy runs out the other side http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif it'd make perfict sience that every thing from the intake side to the turbo would be full of gas right ,, unplug the dist connector,, unplug the fuel pump connector in the rear compartment under the acess plate ,, clamping off the fuel line creates up to 80 + psi ,,you can run the fuel pump by way of the test connector by the air filter box,with out turning on the ign key or cranking the engine ,single blk/white wire, odds are good you have an inj stuck wide open or the pressure reg diaphram is bad please be carefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
