Angry Engine Blown or What????

CAN ANYONE HELP Have a problem with my fd and don't know if it is engine related or not .

my fd currently lacks compression on the rear rotor and the plugs on this one are wet with fuel. tried the flooding procedure but with no success . The stalls if not revved and it is still evident it does not work properly since it vibrates and make a strange sound. The car har just gone past the 80000km mark on the clock

I have also found 3 metal pipes amongst the vacuum lines that do not have hoses connected to them. Two of these are right under the throttle and one is at the rear of the throttle body. Is this normal , the cause of the flooding problem or one of a series of problems.
Is my engine blown??

need to find out where those lines goto and reconnect them. You may just have a very nasty vacuum leak, may explain the strange noise. Try starting it again and see what happens, if it acts the same it maybe time to break out the compression gauge to see how bad it is.

If the seals are coated in fuel they'll no longer make compression.

Replace the plugs, and add a bit of ATF to the rotor. See if that helps.
