:bash:
So I removed my charcoal canister this morning from my ka24e, as well as spray some carb cleaner into the throttle body. I capped off the vacuum lines from the charcoal canister and left the line that connects to the hard line opened. I go to start my car and it starts for half a second and dies..anytime after, it wont start. I did not touch any of the fuel lines.. any idea what can be wrong? Fuel pump works, spark is good.. when the car is put to the "on" position, I hear a hissing noise from the 3rd injector and can see moisture from the injector hole - could a leaking or bad injector be a cause of this? Also..the spark plugs are pretty much drowned with fuel - took them out and airing out the cylinders now. The car was running last night..now after I remove the charcoal canister, it wont start.. . help!:hyper:

have u tried closing the hardline? the moisture could be from removing the canister since thats whats it for but i try caping the hard line and double check for any leaks.

Please don't make guesses. You'll end up killing people.

The hardline to the rear is the fuel tank vent line, capping it will increase tank pressure and possibly cause spray with cap removal or excess pressure that will damage the check valve above the tank. Do NOT cap it. Leave it open, vented.

Injector number three seems to have a vacuum leak, fuel coming out, air coming in. That's a problem.
