i have a 95 cavy with a 2.2
ok I went to start my car this morning and it wouldn't start. tried cranking it a couple time gave up hopped in the truck and went to work.
After work i went about finding the problem. First thing was to check if the pump was running. turned on the key, the pump started, but wouldn't shut off. I tried to crank the car but it wouldn't crank, within the 3-4 seconds the pump was running on or more pistons had filled with so much gas that the engine wouldn't turn.
got out and checked the oil, it had a lot of gas in it. i then got my wife to turn on the key while i was in front of the car, as soon as she did there was a loud hissing sound like fluid leaking coming from the injector area.
key off, unplugged the injectors then key on, leaking noise and pump still wont stop.
I then unplugged the pump relay and pulled all 4 spark plugs, all were soaked with gas.
i removed as much gas as i could from on top of the pistons.
now i need to figure out if all the injectors are leaking or just 1 or 2
Does the pump keep running because it can't build pressure due to leaking injectors? or does it keep running cuz the relay or regulator are junk?
any input appreciated
i know they shouldn't, but they are leaking, enough that the car will not start.
what i really need to know is if, when you turn the key on and the pump starts will it keep pumping until a set pressure is reached or will it still stop. when i turn the key to 'on'
the pump will not stop, it keeps pumping, and dumping more and more fuel on top of one or more pistons. when i pulled the spark plugs all 4 were soaked with gas. and the engine had not been cranked in 9 hours.
