I'll go ahead and try to put fuel down the air chamber. Is that any dangerous? I don't want it to backfire again in my face like it did a while back. What will the fuel do when I pour it down the chamber?
As far as the fuel pump. I think its working because I unhooked the line that comes from the Fuel Pump to the Fuel Distributor and turned the key (not cranking the engine, only turned it until I heard the fuel pump pumping fuel). It shot out fuel from that line. I guess its ok, right? And even with that, the engine would die about 7 seconds after it was running. The third time, it resulted in backfire through the air chamber... 
Lemmie know what u think...
PS: Is there anyway to bypass the cold start valve? Do you think this may be a factor in why my car doesn't start? |
If you give it a squirt of fuel and the engine back fires...you may have a chain problem....back fire is due to an inlet valve being open when the spark arrives in that hole. Pull the valve cover and check the cam timing. Small drill hole or slot should align with cam tower front cast mark. Both #1 cam lobes down.
7th injector pintal could stick open. Blue connector may stay energised..check for
no voltage with KOEO...Two small socket head screws and loosen the fuel connection....lay over cloth and briefly crank motor...Should squirt if under 60degrees F...... Pump should run 1/2 second after cranking...Make sure there is a Fire Extiquisher handy...and read the instructions first !
