FC only starts with gas pedal
Ok first off i have a 90 S5 FC with 3500 miles on a newly rebuilt motor, and it was running great until i developed a fuel leak (spilling all over) and it came from the rubber lines under the UIM on the injectors closes to the block.
I replaced those hoses, and tightened everything up with new clamps and put it all back together.. At first it flooded when i started it due to a week battery. So i unflooded it and it started with a ton of smoke! i drove it around and let it cool down.. over the next few days it wouldnt start unless i gave it gas and when it started it would smoke, and continue to smoke while driving. I figured it was from over premix soo i filled up with gas without any premix and still the same results.
Soo i removed everything to check my work, and it turned out i connected the harness to the fuel injector that is closest to the block reversed. I connected and everything else looked fine. I started the car and BAM it started up right away!
I figured my problem was fixed until i let it sit over night, and when i went to go start it, it didnt start!!!!! unless i gave it some gas. Sooo im wondering if its not getting enough fuel, or enough air since it only starts up without help once its already started. I want to remove the injectors to clean and check them for any coolant or fuel thats leaking in there. but what gets me is that this all started when i repaired the leaky fuel line.... anyone have any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it.
