Injectors clicking all the time? flooding..
Ok my buddy bought my old 91 automatic Rx-7. He had to replace the fuel pump and a couple soft lines. He replaced the pump and the lines, put the manifold back on it and changed the fluids and filters.
Now when he goes to start it, aka. puts the key into the "ON" position the injectors start "clicking away" they click click click click like they are fireing. And the car will not start. We have verified fuel and spark but the thing keeps flooding out. When we spray starter fluid in there the car starts right up then floods itself out.
Any ideas as to why the injectors would be cycling when the car isn't started??

HMM.. the BAC wouldn't have any effect on starting would it?
Is it malfunctioning? The flood clear doesn't work it's that flooded. Plus it's an auto so I can't pull it to a start for him... This is annoying..

Jump the fuel pump check connector and turn the key to ON. Listen for fuel flow to the tank. It should be easily heard.

Actually it helps starting by adding air during cranking. Since cranking fuel amounts are fixed, not having a BAC valve would make cranking mixtures richer and flooding more likely.
If you can hear it, it must be working.
The only reaason to put a Walbro in an NA is if you have to drive the car to pick up the right pump. Obviously such a massive increase in pump capacity (with no adjustable FPR or fuel control) is going to make flooding far more likely. Even if that's not the root cause of the flooding, it will be making the problem worse.
Is it malfunctioning?
The stock pump was bad, I had a walbro laying around, so in it went...

I've been having flooding problems and that sound too, now what's disturbing is that I didn't do anything.. I know that there's a vacuum leak somewhere near the turbo and I'm going to check it tomorrow. I was able to get it to start though, after a bit of trying and deflooding. I drove the car for about 30 miles (Had to move it and towing would've cost ~300$), after it warmed up I did get it to idle, but the clicking is still there.. I know that it can't be the fuel lines, cause it worked just fine before and I haven't touched them.
If anyone finds a solution I'd really like to know
btw. What could happen if the EGI fuse has been taken out while power on? I've got a hunch that could've happened..

Yeah.. Trying to put a car together with 0 budget sucks.. Especially when it is a RX-7. I tried telling him if you don't have time or money you don't want to own an rx-7.. But he wouldn't listen..
