88 GTU Starts, Smokes, Won't Idle, Flood-stalls
Hey all, I would appreciate your thoughts-
'88 GTU N/A, full Racing Beat exhaust with headers: Major flooding issues(I've had a lot of flooding issues with this in the past).
I have to disconnect the fuel injection while cranking until it starts. Once started I have to keep it at least at 2k rpm. Attempts to let idle end in stall. It smokes for about 5 mins upon start, then the smoke mostly clears up. After 5mins of running, a warning beep comes on. I looked in the manual to identify this beeping but couldn't figure it out - there is no pattern, just "beep...beep...beep...beep...etc., without stop.
The battery, plugs and wires are fairly new and I replaced the secondary injectors with ones i bought on the forum because one had a crack in it.
Might the headers be the problem or would the ecu adjust for that?
Does it sound like seals might be shot in the engine?
