FC Update

so as someo f you may know, i picked up my FC over a week ago, and i was told that it had bad compression, so i checked the compression over the weekend...tests fine...so i traced the problem, the spark plugs were not only fouled but installed backwards (leading in trailing spot, and vice versa) and the wiring was wrong L1 was in L2 spot...so i replaced the plugs new, and corrected the wiring, got it fired up, and ran it until warmed up, then shut it off. it wouldnt refire, but that was expected, because as we tried to crank it, it was pouring raw fuel out of the exhaust (unbolted before the cat) so i am thinking that the injectors arent misting, and are probably stuck just pouring gas into it. anyone else think otherwise? or have this happen to them before?


in summation...i traded a 91 civic that i was probably never going to put back together, for a running FC that needed plugs and injectors lol.

When I got my first S5, I went to change the spark plugs and wires, and they were all in the wrong places. It still ran though........good enough to where I drove it for 2 weeks. As for the fuel coming out the pipe....sounds like that could be your problem, but I don't have enough experience with that to help you
