If you saw my other thread you'll notice that my lower injector seals are for some reason fucked. This causes fuel to just dump straight into the engine past the injectors. Now I have a shit load of fuel in my engine and my car won't turn over. When I turn the key I just get a loud clicking noise in rapid succession. Should I just wait for the fuel to evaporate? Or do I have serious issues now?

step 1.Pull spark plugs
2.unplug fuel pump fuse and unplug ignition coil
3.crank over engine to evacuate excess fuel/fumes
4.shoot compressed air down the spark plug ports
5.install new plugs and plug everything back up
6.crank and hope she starts

pull the plug and suck it out with someting, like a syringe and a tube or something, fix the injector and go on with life...

So you think getting all the fuel out will solve the starting issue?

Getting all the fuel out will help, if you kept trying to turn it over with the cylinders full of fuel you could have possibly hydro locked your engine....

Its possible depending on the amount of fuel in the cylinder. But lets hope for the best.
