Hey all, FINALLY i have an update to my troubled car's fuel problems! here is everything i have done to the car in tracking down my crazy pressure readings and no-start condition. 1. new fuel pump 2. new upper hoses 3. new baffle parts that were missing in my car 4. drained fuel tank and cleaned it out 5. new lower return pipe and three connectors 6. new fuel filter 7. all new hollow bolts and brass washers for entire engine compartment. 8. 6 new injectors, seals, clips 9. removed air meter assembly for cleaning. lubricated pin inside fuel distributer. over the last two days i have reassembled the entire system - i checked it for leaks then put my fuel pressure tester on it.......... MY PRESSURES ARE BACK TO WITHIN SPECS!!!!! AFTER THREE MONTHS THEY ARE BACK TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO, today i tried to start it. no go. i had my dad assist me in turning the CO screw (which i know is off) as i tried to start the car but we couldn't get it right. the best we could do is get the car to start for a few seconds, run REALLY rough with me constantly pumping the gas pedal and my dad holding down the air meter plate a little bit. when the car 'ran' like this, it would back fire very severely. that's the best we could do. but at least we know i'm getting gas to the cylinders and i'm getting spark. the car is turning over, cranking and firing, but it just won't run. with the whole air-meter and backfiring thing - what would this indicate? what normally causes this? is there anything i should double-check? is this typical of a messed up CO adjustment? i'm wondering if since i got it this far, maybe i just need to get my CO set up properly and i should get the car towed over to a local import shop for tuning. any ideas?
