The injectors were working fine before and the fuel pressure regulator is also fine. The fuel pressure is at 42 PSI while the car is running and once its shut off it will slowly drop over time. Base timing is at 12 degrees, I know its a bit high for blown car but just where I was starting with it. It starts and runs fine, its just after its shut down it wont restart and you can smell fuel from the exhaust. The car is still untuned and is running rich anyway. It has an 88 Mass air computer and I'm wondering if that could have something to do with it. I hear that first year of computer is one to stay away from but its going to get a chip and be tuned anyway so might turn out alright.<br /> <br /> <small>[ December 29, 2006, 10:23 PM: Message edited by: asskickn88 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
