im off on wednesdays! i wont be there today......sorry! swing by tomarrow!

 

Oh okay.

Speedemon:and make sure the o-ring is in tact) I had one do that to me once.

I didn't take the injectors off from the fuel rail, I know the injectors its-self has a few rings is that what your talking about or are there copper rings that they go into when pluged in. I'm looking in the shop bible and I don't see anything but I may be wrong.

 

if you lef tthe injectors in the fuel rail, you should be fine there.

you really need to determin if it is comming from the left or right side of the car. then try to norrow it down to (if passenger side) Primary fuel rail (lower) Secondary fuel rail (upper) fuel line, rats nest..... ect. if everything is soaked, your going to have to let it dry out as it is easyer to spot a wet spot when everything else is dry.

you might have a small hold in one of your fuel lines. this would be fairly hard to find. did all hoses look ok around the hose clams? no cracks or anything? this is also a common problem.

 

They all look fair from what I could see I replaced one line the goes to the secondary rail but I didn't have a clamp to put on the bottom that comes out of the primary rail.

 

...... yeah.......... you might want to get a clamp on that hose. NO fuel line should be without a clamp. even if for some reason it is not leaking now, I will when it gets warm. and with it being right over the header..... that is just asking for a fire.

I take it you still have not found the fuel leak? have you determined which side of the engine it is comming from for sure yet?

 

Okay I found the leak it was the primary injector it-self the two bolts that hold down the primary injectors, well the right one wasn't even tight. It was hand tight at most. I know that's my bad.
But I got a question are thoes bolts the same lenght because I have two different lengths here look! the short one was where it was leaking pretty bad as you guys heard. the other Injector was clean.

 

yes, they are differant lenghts..... if I remember right.
you will notice when you put them in whice one will require the longer one.

 

 

you did make sure to reinstall the oval plastic spacer in between the primary fuel rail and the block right?

 

I will

 

Hey are these monthly meets still active?
do you guys still do them?

 

Turle, welcome!
Yes we still do the meets, they are the second saturday of the month. you are more then welcome to come out to the next one.
hope to see you there!

 

Okay Jesse & KC
this what happen i changed the MFS and I don't think it did anything at all. I took mine off and it was in better condition than my cousin's from what I think. But anyways the car has no idle at all but after I got the throttle to work [because the cable wasn't on]

I kept the car on by holding the gas down. Then I got a little to happy and tried to drive off and for some reason no power really went to the wheels. The car came to a stop and stalled. After about two house lengths. what was I to do now

Now the car sits on the street in front of my house. Damm thing is heavy. but all people that own an Fc know this.

 

case where did u end up picking up the new car at

 

got it from West Covina.

 

id have to see the car.... but im usually VERY busy! ill try to come see it sometime soon!

 

yeah thats a little odd. when you called me on the phone you were tottally describing an unpluged MAF sensor. but what you just described does not at all.

 

Um.... I did talk to Mark After I did this recent work and so now I think my TPS needs to be adjusted or something and I don't have all my vacume lines pluged in so I also have to do that.

 

My last post was after I talked to the both of you. the kar never had an idle but I thought it did when I talked to you and Jess, sorry

 

it's an air flow meter, thank you very much.

 

ohhh.... sorry..... my bad.....
he he.



yeah man you have to make sure you have all your vacume lines on. make sure everything is pluged in.... should run like a champ. I have never needed to get the TPS calibrated or adjusted. I always just left it alone and it has always worked fine.

 

Okay I made sure all the vac lines are on now. Dave told me he reset's the TPS on all the engines he puts in so I don't know how much of a problem the TPS is giving me or not giving me since I don't really know how it works.

The main pullie has to be lined up with that pointer right and then the crank angle sensor needs to be unpluge is that right? to reset.

 

Okay i have no clue now. car starts but then turns off after rough idle under 1k like 700. It stayed on once for about 30 sec.

 

how do the spark plugs look? are they new?
still sounds like a vacume leak.
when you got it to idle for 30 sec. would it rev up at all? how did it sound? (sounds like it ran like crap to me)

 

**** man, just buy me 2 12 packs of newcastle and a tank of gas and i'll do it.
