Hi again,
How gas gets through to the block with the injectors unhooked from the electrical?????
That hose you found gas in is a vacuum hose. Vacuum is the result of a piston withdrawing from its cylinder, and it is felt by the intake plumbing (manifold) when the intake valves are open. That hose will deliver many times the volume of fuel ordinarily allowed by the fuel injectors and certainly flood the cylinders with fuel.
Don't crank the car any more or try to start it until you replace the regulator, drain the oil/gas mixture from the crankcase and replace it with new oil, and add a small amount of oil through each spark plug hole.
Regarding the method of testing spark, I asked the question, because many of us will say "spark is fine" when they see it at the coil. Seeing it at two or more plugs verifies the distributor is turning and the secondary wiring is likely good. You'd be surprised at how many people tear into the electrical stuff when the t-belt isn't even turning the cam.
Yes, the comp board is 1 and 3, but we usually like to keep separate subjects in separate threads to avoid confusing the issues. If your temp gauge is still balky, post a new thread "temp comp board" or whatever. Surely you've searched a few posts to arrive here and can understand keeping issues concise for that reason.
