Gas in oil pan again!!!
Hi everyone, like couple weeks ago I had all the sudden white cloud of smoke coming out of the exsaust, rich reading on the wide band, loose in power, it turned to be the oil pan filled with gas and the FPR difrom broken, I replaced it from Autozone, changed the oil and filter twice, and everything seemed to be ok, after like a week of that, I run out of gas in the freeway exit 200 feet away from the gas station I was trying to get to lol, filled it up with gas, drove it again normally for like 20 miles, suddenly it died on me in the free way, pulled over, tried to start it couple times, it cranked really fast but no start , waited like 3 min, tried again and it started bu felt like the engine was chocked with fuel, hit the gas pedal couple times and it seemed to be running normally now, drove it back home, checked the oil next day and it was fine, drove it around for like 4 or 5 days, and the dar was starting normally and running normally, yesterday driving At 75 mil/h it died on me the same way it did before, this time never wanted to start again, I was desperate from being late to work, kept hitting the starter for like 15 min till the battery died, got it towed home, charged the battery, and went to work LATE!
Today tried to start it again, the engine was very heavy on the starter,checked the dip stick and was gas !!! I emptied the oil and was full with gas, at least one gallon!! It was even leaking from the oil pan gasket from the front!!! Checked the FPR, and no gas on the vacuum hose, checked the fuel pressure, when I turn on the egnition, it shows 47 and then it drops fast to 30 in like 2 min!!!

Sorry guys for the long post, my question is: since the FPR is fine, where the gas got from into the oil pan? I think nothing left but injectors right? By the way fuel pump is one year old and the filter like 8 months, I only put 91 octane in it,,,

The only way fuel can get into the crankase if the regulator is alright is the injectors. Swap them out before your motor blows up.

Time to call Jon at FIC. His injectors will put the car back on the road again and probably with considerable more power.

The regulator is 1 week old and it's not leaking from the vacuum hose, my motor got mouth washed twice within a week!! I will be damn lucky if it will survive it!!

Jon will make it right, but while you are waiting for him to respond check your fuel return line & be sure it isn't plugged up somehow.

I just talked to John now, and he was very understanding and told me to send them back to him to check them out, once I take it apart I will check the return line too

By the way, John asked me if I checked the Evaporator Purge Cannister too, I pulled the hose from the selinioed, and it was kind of clogged with carbon, so how to clean the system and is it possible to be a reason for the situation I have now?

I had a friend that his car (a mustang) had a bad computer that was shorting one of the Injectors all the time, it was like a solid stream of fuel going into his engine! his tank emptied very quickly, just as you described. either your injector/s is stuck, the ecm is shorting the injector/s ? I'd pull the plugs and see what you have as stated earlier.
Good luck!
