Car won't start - 2nd cylinder full of fuel

[hunker7]

Wouldn't the fuel push passed all injectors in that case?

It should run on 4 cylinders, but maybe because 1 is leaking it can't get the pressure up?

[Pirvu Eugen]

Leaking fpr through the vacuum hose. Ruptured Diaphragm?.

[hunker7]

It's possible. I have a spare FPR and dad is sending me injectors. So I will start with replacing injector and if it doesn't run, FPR is next on my list. Because fuel is arriving, and spark is there too.

Easy to find out, pull the small vac pipe off the FPR, if it has fuel in it then there's your problem.

[hunker7]

Just pulled it off and it looks dry, I sucked on it too and didn't get any fuel so that seems good.

Maybe the injector harness is shorting to ground. Check all the harness wiring for damage

[hunker7]

I can check it, but harness looked in very good condition, and with no rips or tears when I did the engine work.

[newsh]

Any news?

[hunker7]

Waiting on postman Pat for replacement injector. Took all the spark plugs out so hopefully they'll be dry by now, and same goes for cylinders

[newsh]

I reckon if one injector is stuck open it will drown the plug, then when inlets open fuel will come back out into inlet and wet the others

That's a good point, because the amount of fuel spatting out of cylinder when cranking the engine was loads. And there is fuel in sump too now.

[Thuppu]

Fuel in sump evaporates fast when the oil temp rises, if you get it started up. Of course if the bottom end is full of fuel then you need to drain it out and change oils.

So there is no need for oil change?

Not if there isn't a huge amount of fuel there.

Doesn't seem to be a lot. I'll drive a bit and check it, if needed I'll change the oil.
