TPI guys step inside
I have an 86 fuel injection system in my C3 thats been converted to speed density. It has ran PERFECT until tonight. On the way home tonight she just shut down (ended up flat bedded home)
Heres what i have discovered.
Fuel pump is running, but not sure how much PSI yet.
Engine is severely flooding...To the point of LOTS of raw fuel is leaking out of the exhaust pipe joint where the cat use to be. Even the collector area of the manifolds (81/82 corvette style) is wet with fuel.
I held pedal to floor once to shut off injectors and clear lines. It did run for few secs before it choked out.
My ??? is..where should i begin. Regulator? if it breaks/Sticks it wouldnt cause this kind of flooding would it?
What about the injectors...surely they wouldnt be stuck to allow this kind of flooding.
Would low pump pressure cause flooding since veh wouldnt crank.
which direction would you go.
Now heres a kicker. about 2 hours earlier i put a pretty strong concentration of SEAFOAM injector cleaner. Think this could have caused the issue?
Im gonna get a good nights rest and tomorrow morning im at it. Im hoping a golden trail of ideas and tech info will be here
