Problem found....what else do i need to do? 700

Well i found my problem (or at least one of them). My fuel pressure regulator has gas spewing out of the vaccum fitting. So i know i need to replace the regulator (doesnt start). I assume quite a bit of gas has been sucked into the vaccum...where did it all go?

The car is hard to crank and will stop cranking after a second or so....even with a new battery.


My question is, what else do i need to look at since the gas had to go somewhere, and i'm hoping i didnt hydrolock the engine with this gas

Your comment about the Cranking scares me. That does sound like hydro lock. I hope you didn't bend anything.

As was stated by the others. check the oil level. smell it too It probably smells very much like gas. do an oil change

Have you gained any "oil"? If so, does it smell funny? Pull out the plugs and see if they are wet. If you have wet plugs and too much oil, dump the sump and start over. Not a bad idea to spin it with the starter when the plugs are out. Helps to remove any excess gas.

The gas was vacuumed into the intake - probably washed out cylinders pretty good. Remove plugs and oil filler cap to let gas evaporate - oil change will probably need to be done.

she starts.....but not well 700

Yep...sounds about right......except in addition to new plugs i also need a new intake manifold gasket....she split pretty bad at the number 1 cylinder causing a nasty leak and makes the engine not too happy at idle or over 4k rpms...but at least i can fix it....I wonder how hard it will be for me to do
