okay i know that my injectors are leaking so i have ordered the bleed off kit from mazdatrix and got it yesterday after i was driving down the highway and stopped for a light when the engine just died!!!!! :-(

i pulled off to the side of the road and tried several times to start the engine again----with no luck.

ive never had it just die on me before with the exception of when it overheated on me. anyway i tried to unflood the motor by pulling the fuel pump fuse and turning it over- when that didnt work i pulled the plugs and found that the number one rotor housing had the dripping wet plugs. so i dried them all and tried to start again---still no luck. so now i wonder about the plugs. what should i look for in tring to tell if they have gone bad? also, when i went back to try agian today when i pulled the plugs and turned over the engine to clear the fuel out i saw a milky while liquid come from the motor----it smells like fuel . now could this be the atf and fuel mixing ? ( i used atf to relube the housings when i pulled the plugs to blow out the excess fuel yesterday) once again the engine tries to start but just cant. so please give me your best guesses :unsure:

 

You overheated it?

 

yeah the factory plastic piece that the water filling cap ( rad. cap ) cracked and was leaking coolant while i was driving ---didnt know till it was hot

but have had the engine running since then and was running fine

 

That milky white stuff could be coolant and oil mixing together. What do your plugs smell like when they're all wet?

 

it smells just like fuel

even with the bleed off kit it still seems like the engine is flooding :-(

maybe i have an injector that is stuck open---ill have to look further into that

as far as coolant mixing with oil goes i know that oil is supposed to be injected into the rotor housings to lube the rotors but if i have coolant in the housings as well would that point to a blown gasket or seal?

 

Yeah, coolant in the combustion chamber would mean a bad seal.

 

f**k

 

Just do all of the usual checks. You may get lucky.

 

any advice on where to start first?

compression check to start with perhaps?

 

Yeah, that and try checking your coolant and oil to see what they look like.
