first off want to say I understand I need to get the pulsation damper replaced or at least banjo bolt the bastard but I need to get the car started first. so please lets not turn this into a replace the pulsation dmaper or your car will catch on fire arguement I am well aware of it

my pulsation damper was leaking and since I didn't have the time or money to replace it I put some jb weld on the front of it to patch it up till I had some time and money to replace. after I did that I let it cure for a while and now the car doesn't start.
doesn't even really act as though it is going to start.
checked the leading plugs they where grimmed up so replace them checked all plug wires they all look good.

don't even really know where to start on this one

any help would be welcome

 

well since you obviously had to have had the UIM off to do the repair i would double check your connections and routing of wires, etc..

 

or flooded or a massive vac leak

 

last time the uim was off was last year. patch job was done without taking anything apart.

I admit might be flooding and I hope it is in a way. prolly going to take the plugs back off since they are new and see how they are.

as per advice of someone else I took the return line off for the fuel to see any any jb weld was able to make it's way past and I did get fuel out of there. I don't know how much should come through but it wasn't under any real pressure and lots didn't come out maybe 2tbls or so after about 2-3 seconds of cranking

I know when I put some oil in the #2 rotor spark hole it didn't seem to make much difference but I am willing to try again.

 

there should be quite a bit of fuel and quite some pressure behind it during cranking, sounds like your fuel filter could be plugged up or pump is shot or a blockage in one of the lines (kinked or something blocking it internally).

 

on the return line your talking about right?

so I'm taking it that it sounds like some jb weld made it past the pulsation damper and into the fuel rail... well that could explain a lot.

now how hard would it be to knock the jb weld out if that is the case or can it just be drilled out?


again broke so don't think I can afford to buy another fuel rail but if need be I can try to swing something
