sewebster Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 So, seems like my cylinder was so full of fuel that I couldn't start it because the piston just runs into a brick wall of gas. Turned it over by hand and could hear liquid squeezing past the rings instead of gas. Pulled the dipstick and smells like gas. Hooray for injector problems!

MY1PATH Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 once you get the injector fixed do like I did and pour a few qts of ATF into an empty crankcase. this will help flush out some fuel before you put fresh oil in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Pulled the intake collector off the top... gas was almost up to the top of the lower manifold! It looks like gas is leaking past the o-rings and not leaking out of the injector... which is unfortunate, because I replaced the o-rings a couple weeks ago.

sewebster Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yup torn o-ring. I'm going to take all my injectors to a fuel injection place on Monday because two of them have a different resistance and I want to make sure everything is working properly this time.

sewebster Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Got it running again. Big difference compared to having a cylinder full of gas I wonder if I busted my brand new o2 sensor and cat. Still some ticking sound from the driver's side... ugh, don't want to do more valve work.
