wow i think this is one of the 1st post ive seen in a while where the guy wasnt flamed for asking common questions. Good job boys!

Any-who, i would check the oil line for the turbos, and/or if that not leaking, it could be bad turbos aswell.

What does the smoke smell like?

Color?

 

i got the uim off and got the FP going. all i hear is the hum of the fuel pump, if i can hear it going in the engine bay, in addition to the rear end is that indicate a leak? is hearing it near the engine normal. now i have to get under the Cluster **** of vac hoses to get a good look at the fuel rail, is there a way to remove the whole thing w/o undoing all of the hoses?

 

i had seen some pics of an rx7 on fire on here before. i cant remember what the thread was, if im not mistaken he has on the interstate when it happened. he had pics of the aftermath, i want to ask him what the cause was.

 

You'll hear fuel running through the hoses in the engine bay. If you can't physically see the fuel lines due to the rat's nest, your best bet is to smell for a fuel leak. But to be thorough you'll have to get down to the fuel lines themselves - which sucks. There's no easy way through the rat's nest. Enjoy.

 

man you really should find someone local who know what he is doing, a fuel leak is no joke. You have to remove the rats nest to get to the fuel system, no other way, it is a very big job. You do a vacuum job if you never made one while you are in there.

 

ill keep that in mind

 

anyone?

 

im bored at work, bump

 

you need to install a fuel pressure gauge in the pressure side on the fuel lines, this way you'll see if you have a fuel leak.

Since you are already there. Replace it anyways. They are known for going bad and creating fires, so have a little more assurance knowing that you have a new one.
