This car is so damn clean/original, he's probably still rockin' the factory new car smell.

I would love to swap to do mpi. What issues did you run into?

Thats the plan. I'm just wondering about the resistor box because my exhaust is one piece for the turbo to the muffler, so I can't really take my down pipe off and have a bung welded in. I'm going to try to clean the injectors my self, and if it doesn't improve, I'll probably break down and buy new ones.

Okay, so you had the crank set at zero, and the cam pin at 12 o'clock, then you retarded the timing with the distributor?

Oh really? I had no idea. Is that how its suppose to be? I thought I read it was at tdc?

C300, do you think I could wire in a resistor box to trick the car into thinking it has an o2 sensor?

I gasped when I saw the interior. Beautiful car and an awesome story to go with it.

What kind of condition are the injectors in?

That's what we were thinking, but all the signs seem to point to the timing being right on (other than it running right, of course) When you redid your timing, you had the crank at TDC and the cam alignment pin at 12 o'clock, right? We had a timing light on it, and it was showing it was sparking right at TDC

Here's a video I took yesterday of it running: We checked and the timing is spot on, and then we discovered its just dumping fuel. So I'm going to pull the injectors and send them off for cleaning and replace all the filters and screens per C300's advice. Its going to take awhile because this is my back-burner car. But I'll try to get to it as often as I can.

Thanks for the advice C300. I was actually looking through your thread earlier and that's what made me start thinking my injectors are dirty. And I will. haha. Kinda sucks because I bought this thing the way it is, and now I'm finding out just how ghetto all the previous owners mods are. Any idea how far from the turbo I should weld in the new bung?

Hey guys, its me again. Just got the car running last night for what was apparently the first time in years. The guy I got it from said he got it running, but since the hard timing was 180 degrees out, I doubt that very much. Anyhoo, was out tinkering a little today, and I'm getting some SERIOUS flooding issues. I've already done some searching and I'm leaning towards dirty injectors, but I wanted to elaborate on my exact situation and see if someone might be able to help me from just throwing money at it. So to start the day, it would start and run like garbage. It would eventually be able to idle alone without me feathering the throttle, here's a video of what it ran like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwFRuJ-TPc Then later on, it wouldn't start. So we thought it might be flooded. Unplug both injectors, the car starts and runs at 3k rpm (with my foot on the pedal) for about 5 seconds before sputtering and dying. The closest it will run to a normal car is with the secondary unplugged, just running the primary. It idles kinda crap, but can actually rev up without stumbling and stuttering. Then it hits a wall at 3k rpm. If I plug in the secondary, it will run like crap, and rev up like crap but start to run more normal in the higher end of the RPM scale. The o2 sensor was removed and is just hanging out, was wondering if that could be it? I know its not helping at all, I'm wondering if the o2 sensor is just like "Holy crap, there's no fuel in this air, DUMP THAT CRAP!!!" because its just reading fresh air from the outside world? Also, the temp sensors on the radiator aren't hooked up because the factory fans are gone. Mods on this car is, aftermarket piping, MSD coil, BOV, bigger turbo with external wastegate, some crappy fan that's bolted to the water pump, and a full straight pipe exhaust. I'm not sure what it has done fuel wise. The injectors look factory. One with a black ring, the other with a green ring. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for looking.

Good info in here. Im constantly trying to find this thread to refer too.

Oh crap! Good thing you're in Florida, it'll probably just shake the ground a little

Here is a video of the first start up in years. Thanks to all the guys on the forum who helped figure out what it was.
