Tranny fluid getting into the intake?????? Never heard of that one before....and I doubt it can. Phade, you need to first trouble shoot the fuel system, and then do a leak down or compression test. What does the engine oil look like and smell like?

Mark, Look at the cross section image of an injector. You will see the filter.

Well from what I hear there is a valve on the tranny that has suction from the intake, when that valve goes bad it pulls in tranny fluid. A lil gas in the oil. I think I might have a bad fuel pressure regulator and sucking tranny fluid as welll.

I couldn't see anything either Sam. I'm really curious to see what he's refering to. I know the old Multechs were designed differentlty, hard to explain, but I have an idea what he's refering to, if I'm right it's not a filter.
