WTF is wrong with my car!!!!
ok so it started up the other day for the first time in a week or 2. yesterday i found out i had my leads on the wrong rotors ( car actually started before i changed these ) we changed these to the trailings to the right position yesterday and it fired up first pop with no effort. we let it run for 30sec and then turned it off and changed the leadings to the right position then it wouldnt start again. changed them back and it still wouldnt start. left it for few hours and went back. still wouldnt start. removed all plugs and cleaned as they were wet. removed first 2 fuses in eng bay fuse holder adn turned over for 5 sec till no gas was coming out. put plugs adn leads back in again ( the right way ) and it still wouldnt start.
WTF!!!! I know i have a vac leak which i will endevor to find asap but this surly cant be causing this can it.???

Do a compression check, if u put the motor thru any kind of stressful reving or anything while the spark plug leads were reversed, you could have popped an apex seal dude to negative split. If thats true, GG for your engine, you need a rebuild. If its just flooding, then u should be all good. Try taking some Auto tranny fluid, and pour a few ounces in the spark plug holes, turn it over for a while without the plugs, then put them back in and try. While ur turning it over with the ATF in it, pull ur fuses so u dont get fuel too.

Hope this helps.

na there was no stressfull reving, basically only idoling and maybe the od rev to 2500. I will try the atf trick.is there anything else im supposed to do after ive dont this?

There's no need to use ATF, engine oil works fine. Get a little oil squirt can (makes the job much easier) and put one squirt of oil in each chamber through the leading plug holes. If it's just flooded it'll fire right up in a cloud of smoke.

ok well i tryed this, and it didnt work. i checked my timing and it was sweet but i thought it was wrong so changed it and tryed and changed it back after realising it was wrong( i dont know what i was thinking and i still cant figure it out) . i even tryed squirting a few squits into the motor and turning it and squirting a bit more. it still wounld start. I pulled all the plugs and turned it over for a while to try and vent some of the oil and gas etc. ive cleaned my plugs. it still wont go. I havnt done the vacum test NZ vert sugessted in my water sensors thread as am waiting for some available funds to buy PVC pipes( am saving half my pay each week to go overseas so dont have a lot of disposible income) I did go any buy a little squit can to do it tho. I was pricing up the PVC hoses and its gona be like $50 to get that set up ( which im willing to pay but it'll take me 2 weeks to save $50 haha. I had a though that maybe my injector plugs wernt connecting properly as when i pulled them off the first time when my eng blew i was ahving trouble and tryed yanking on the wires ( a big nono i know )
Im gona try pull the UIM off this weekend and gasget goo everything up and hope that sorts my vac leak probs and check the injector leads and **** but yea... who knows. Anyone got any ideas?

ok. I have finished replacing all my vacum lines, and i pelcaed all my gasgets on my block off plates and my BAC and everything!! I put hylomar between all adjoining surfaces like the TB to UIM and TB to TB inlet so i will have no vacum leaks. my timing is set right and the car started up. then we turned it off and went to start again and wont start coz its flooded ( i presume) as its doin gthe same thing. my injectors have been cleaned adn leak tested, i replaced all my injector O rings and Grommets while i had the UIM off. i have no fuel leaks. I dont know what is going on. what can be causing this flooding? do i have wire in a fuel cut switch?

when you idle it, do you do a preventitive flood shut down? or are you just turning it off?

NZ_87_TURBO

just turning it off. is that the " rev to 3grand and then turn it off"? preventitive flooding method?

ok well i got home and started it up and it went fine with the BOV/ boost sensor line off ( with it on it would idol low7-800rpm and with it off 1000 rpm. i put the hose on again and it died ( i didnt pull it off quick enough ) then it wouldnt start up again coz it was flooded. i tryed pulling the efi fuse to no avail. then i disconnectd the fuel pump and after 5 seconds it started up, ran for 2 seconds ( before i could reconnect it) then died. i did this twice to confirm it worked. so do i just band aid it with a fuel cut switch or is there a way to fix it?
