Yeah, So... I know I had leaky injectors... but does that cause the intake manifold to FILL with gas?? Has it hurt anything? I drained my oil... I know I had gas in it... and I had gas come out my downpipe.. It went all the way through apparently.

Suggestions??

Any likely problems??

Has this/could this mess anything up??

Thanks,

drain all the fuel out and dry it out.

Did it shut down when you were driving it? If it did what were you doing?

Ive heard of ppls engine "Hydro locking" from flooding the cylinders with fuel.

depending on how long you were driving it with leaky O-Rings "cylinder wash" may have occured which wears down your piston rings,or possibly the break down of the Oil and premature wearing of the bearings

Clean every thing out replace the O-Rings and fire it up

I'll admit.

This is a pointless post.



But seriously, check your injectors.

Sounds like one is stuck open.

Fortunately, this was on my SR startup. So I wasn't driving, I was just trying to crank it up.

As for injectors being stuck open... No O-rings? I have the o-rings now... And I haven't attempted to start the car again... I just recently discovered a hell hole of gas.

drain it all out then cycle the injectors into a bucket to see if ones stuck open.

when you turn your car off the ecu tells the ignition coil to stop firing the coilpacks.. even tho the engine is still turning over and the valves are allowing the leaked fuel to pass through the cylinder, through the turbo, and into the DP

could be the o-ring between the fuel rail and the manifold too... have you changed your injectors lately?! If you take the SARD 850, and you don't change the o-ring provided with the injectors to OEM one, you'll have a lot of flooding in your manifold. The best way to check for that, is to take out your fuel rail, turn on the ignition, the fuel pump will prime the system with pressure... if you see any fuel coming around the injector nozzle, that's your problem! ;)
