Bad night...anyways can I blow the engine by

Scenario 1 (Rubber boot from injector falz off into intake)
try and crank it with EGI pulled to let it out?

Scenario 2 (Replace rubber boot with a washer and Blue
silicone RTV) Cranks engine and undried RTV
gets eaten by engine....Loud hissing noise,
burning noise. Shuts car off imediatly and
says oh ****? puts more silcone on and
waits till morning?

So this being said and having a healthy engine. What would most likely happen??? Please if u dont know dont guess. This had to of happend to someone.

Which rubber boot?

von

Its the one that goes onto the bottom of the injector on the dust cap thats usualy green in color. It seals the injector to the upper intake manifold.

Are you sure it is not stuck in the diffuser? Take out the injector and look down inside the hole; it may be resting on that lil piece of plastic (diffuser).

von

Difuser? Whats that. It your talking about that Atomizer thing on the VDI manifold then thiers no way it will fit. Are u sure thou

Samps

This is a diffuser:



It atomizes the fuel after the injector sprays it (I think). But anyhow; it is dirrectly under the injector. And if an injector gromet or o-ring, or what ever went down into the injector hole it would most likely get stuck in this thing. It's worth a look.

It's stuck somewhere in the engine, and will most likely require a teardown to retrieve. You might want to try pulling the intake manifold, and see if it got stuck somewhere in there. If it made it past the intake ports, and got spun around the engine without killing anything, it's stuck in the diffuser - a little metal piece in the exhaust port.

All in all, a Bad Thing.

It is also known as an "Air bleed"

well I highly dought its stuck in the air bleed. But could be in the

there is no way it made it past the air bleed, suck it up and take off the intake manifold, it will be right there.

I'm thinking now that you dropped it down a different part of the intake, and not down into the injector hole. It's all starting to come together. Damn turkey got me all fucked up.

I seriously doubt that you dropped ANYTHING in the injector hole.

The boot you speak of is too large to go down the hole it sits in.

Not possible.

I say if you EVER drop anythin in your engine, remove your exhaust and all intake manifolds.

Then using a mirror, and a three pronged grippy thing (or magnet if its magnetic metal you dropped, and go fishing

Also, get some VERY HIGH pressure air and a blow nozzle.

Rent a compressor if you have too.

Blow out the caveties that you can get to ..

Spray TONS of WD-40 in the engine and turn it by hand.

GENTLY

expose all 6 rotor faces to the exhaust ports, one at a time.

Inspect and clean and fish around there too.

If you spray enough, TONS of WD-40 will pour out the exhaust ports and flush out the object most likely.

Alternately, if you KNOW its still in there, and you cant get it out, save your engines life by pulling it, and getting the hardware required to mount the engine on it like a piston engine, (at the back of the engine where the transmission bolts on).


Then, if your turn the engine so that the rotor face with the foregin object is facing DOWN, then you can cause the object to fall onto the side housing AWAY from the apex seals.

(between rotor tips)

Then keeping the eccentric shaft stationary in space, rotate the engine so that the object is rolling/sliding along the side housing, and the rotor is staying away from it, (your turning the block in space, not the rotors)

Eventually the object will fall out of the exhaust hole like a pick that fell into in a guitar!

Voila.

(This also works for dead mice in your engine block that was in storage.)



Dont ask.

Once I thought about it; I realized the injector hole was too small to have anything fall into it. Sorry!

no that is something that requires explanation and detail

Just started my car...Ran like ****...Blue a little smoke.Dont know wich color. This happend when I reved it too 4k. i only idled the car for about 2minitues and couldnt take it anymore. Before I started it I Cranked it for like 20 seconds to force it out...(if it was in thier in the first place)

The shitty start I believe is because I recet the ECU and also previously sucked the RTV in through the intake the first time a started it without the boot.... What happens if RTV gets in the rotors housings then hardenz...What can I shoot in the intake that will disipate it... Its the Blue RTV.

von

Ok...Just took my car for a test run...Warmed up and redlined it a couple of times....got to autozone and noticed that it purred like a kitten...Not even poping anymore. All my probs were contributed to sucky *** fuel system. Still little popy when cold but that could be tps sensors...like I said. Its really smooth and steady now.

Only problem now is that it idles at 200. Can somone tell me whats up...The idle mix screw is almost all the way out. ?
