My car was flooding pretty bad. Bad enough that I couldnt crank it for a few days. My friend had the fuel bleed off kit from Mazdatrix so we tried it on my car as a temporary fix. My car finnaly started but it was running kinda funny. I had to keep my foot on the gas or it would die. We decided the fuel cut off switch would be a better idea.

We took off the bleed off kit and installed the cut off switch. The switch works great and my car starts right up.....but the idle is rough and my exhaust smells like my car is running SUPER rich.

I know I need to have my injectors cleaned, but it was running just fine a day ago.

 

Can anyonw tell my why my car would all of a sudden start ruunning like this?

 

Leaking injectors? Thats just a guess.

 

Yeah I know they are bad, thats why I put the fuel pump switch on for now. But just yesterday it started running really rough. It will stay at idle for about 15 seconds then the rpms drop to about 200 and my car dies. My motor is also making a wierd noise and it vibrates.

I have not driven the car yet. It happened when I cranked it to see if that fuel pressure bleed kit would work. After that it ran like ****..and it still does.

 

Aslo, I did take one spark plug out of each rotor when I was trying to unflood it. I KNOW the plug wires are going to the right plugs.

I seriously need some help guys. I dont know wtf is wrong

 

I just took my car for a drive. It died 5 times in less than a 1/4 mile.

I have no power, and its sounds like I am only running on one rotor or something?

Please help guys...its my ONLY car and I need to get to work in the morning!!!

 

Will someone please help? I dont have another ride and I need to fix this TODAY!

 

My guess is that you knocked something loose in the engine bay. Check that all of the injectors are still plugged in and that all of the plug wires are on tight.

 

I have tried that, but everything looks fine.

 

I have been doing some searching. I think my motor needs a rebuild. I am loosing coolant all the time and the water is always a milky brown color.

Could that be the problem?

Its a 90 N/A with 120k miles. I have only had the car for about 2 months. Who knows what the previous owner (40 year old woman) did to it.
