Well here is the story:



Drove the car yesterday and stuff to work.. car has been running for about a week now. Car doesn't like cold starts one bit.. but once it gets to op temp its fine. Just idles low in the cold i guess.



Can smell fuel out the tail pipe.. i know its getting fuel. I took the plugs out.. they were wet/black.. i think they are fouled.. but its late and can't buy new plugs.



Pretty sure my plugs are shot.. they are only a week old. But its running a pretty rich map.. what do you guys think? It trys to start.. sputters, and dies.. and compression is perfect.

are any of the accesories in the car working? or just the starter?



this same thing happen to me, and the main fuse was blown

twinturborx7pete 02-15-2004 02:18 AM

yeah, radio and all works.. pretty sure my plugs are shot.. yet again.



which isn't surprising.. the AF on this map is supposed to be 12:1 and its cold/rainy here.. along with the fact that the car hasn't been run-run in like 3 months.. so i'm prolly burning a LOT of carbon out of the engine.

wont all 9's on a rich map foul realy fast if you are just putting around town?

twinturborx7pete 02-15-2004 04:11 PM

well yes and no.. i don't put around https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png But i found yet another fuel leak.. primary injector o-rings are bad... on the #2 rotor. So i'm gonna have to yank the primaries yet again. I've never noticed it before since this is the first time i've checked under pressure. but sure enough its leaking like a mofo.



As for starting.. put 2 new trailiing plugs in.. fired right up. Now i just have to order some orings and slap those bad boys on and hopefully all my problems will cease.



I'll keep you guys updated. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
