hey whats up guys ive been a lurker on here for a while. but now ive got a problem that i cant figure out and need better advice. i have a 92 hatch with a z6 swap. for some reason my car will not start up for about a half hour after you shut it off. when you try to start it when it dont want to all you can smell is gas. i have changed out the igniter,coil,fuel filter,plugs,head gasket,and i/m gasket. some one told me that i might have a leaky injector??? i am getting spark. i have a extra set of injectors but they are y8 injectors and i dont want to cut my clips on my harness if this is not my problem. when the car will finally start it runs like **** for about 10 seconds. any help is appreciated.

Almost does sound like leaking injectors, but check your timing. Do you have any cels? I would almost think maybe a bad ect (engine coolant temp) sensor but im not sure since you smell gas a lot.

there is no cels thanks for the help. i wish there was so i could narrow it down. i know the cel works because i had a bad speedo sensor and it threw a code for it but it is fixed

figured it out. i took the injectors out and there was a shitload of carbon built up on them. im going to the store to buy a bottle of seafoam
