Started my 245 up this morning and it ran for a minute, died and have not been able to restart it.
The things I have already eliminated as possibilities for no start condition:
Fuel pumps working, relays engaging,
power to the coil,
no fuel coming out of the FPR vacuum hose,
Fuses all in good condition
I started poking around and found my intake manifold contains a fuel pool, enough to start draining back down toward the AMM. This was discovered when I tried to snug up some vacuum lines, one slipped off and fuel came out. It was the line running to the charcoal canister from below the throttle body. I checked out the timing belt and it seems to have more slack than I think it should. Could the pool of fuel be a sign it has jumped a few teeth? Obviously the cold start injector is working, maybe working too much?
I was just about to check for spark when I discovered this and am a little hesitant to check now that there are a good 4oz of fuel sitting there.
I searched the archive but didn't see any posts about a fuel pool in the intake manifold.
Also, to complicate matters, this is an LH 1.0 system which has a unique fuel rail and injector hose connections.
Any thoughts/ideas appreciated
Alex
