Still trying to get my 16v running. (Thanks Larry for the transfer pump gasket part number!).
Today I realized that I have a fuel problem, as in too much fuel. After cranking for a bit and smelling fuel, I pulled the plugs to find them dripping wet. Literal puddles of gas in the combustion chambers when seen with a flashlight through the spark plug hole. The oil has fuel in it as well from all of the cranking and compression. And the exhaust seams around the cat and down pipe even have a bit of fuel coming out. Not good! Hoping that I didn't hydro lock the engine (I don't think I did, but I guess I'll find out soon enough). What are the chances the plunger in the fuel distributor is stuck wide open? Car ran last fall fine....but the ethanol gas can't be good for the fuel components. Any tricks to unstick a stuck plunger? Just take it apart and hope it all goes back together? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group.
