My car is a 88 tii, with only exhuast and intake. Here what happend: day before yesterday I looked under the car and noticed that a wire hangin there. I thought it was the wire for the OMP (oil metering pump) so I went to kragen and bought some MMO to put in gas. I put in 1 quart MMO (I had 1 quater tank gas). But I also had some NOS Octane Booster as well, that i for got i had in the gas. I drive around and lots of smoke comes out, I guess its cuz I put so much MMO. Then I left it to sit. Then today I start her up, SHE DOESN'T EVEN CRANK! And I get strong gas smell to the left of the IC, and weird buzz noise. this what I think happend: The Octane Booster combine with the huge amount of MMO must have created a lot of carbon inside the engine. This is prolly why there a strong gas smell, cuz i kno the fuel pump goes on for a couple seconds when you put key to start, and the carbon must be blocking fuel er something (that why i smell gas). SO now i'm gonna do ATF trick, and see what happens, but i need ur guy's opinion on this any help greatly appreciated, thx.

also the wire that was hangin is for the OIL THERMO UNIT. It is somehow related to the sub zero assist, according to HAYNES.

i think you flooded it. pull the EGI fuse from the drivers side shock tower. crank a bunch of times. then reinstall the fuse and see if it starts. if not you can try push starting it and popping the clutch

but she doesnt even crank tho. I have a switch wired up to the fuel pump and tried playing around with it turning off and, on, etc. Still nothing. Should I do ATF? so i can get some plugs and a oxy sensor.

vosko

it wont' crank ??.................. hmmmmm check battery terminals, check fuses, then pray LOL

RX7ryder

well i checked EVERYTHING already, could this be a sign of CARBON LOCK? And yes I will pray tonight.

vosko

does the starter make a clicking ?



if it locked up.... dump a whole bunch of ATF or MMO into the spark plug wholes. put the car in 5th gear and push it backwards....

RX7ryder

yes i do get a click sound coming from the passenger side. But i'm confused, I thought the MMO is what caused the carbon lock in the first place. Or could it be that MMO+Octane Booster=Carbon lock. But yea I will try ATF trick, thx

vosko

i think your starter locked up or the battery is dead. just gotta unlock it and your set!



MMO will not lock a engine. do the atf and roll it you'll be fine

hey voska, silly question I have..but what does it do when...you
