I was changing out the spark plugs in the rex today, and when I pulled the first one I found that it was covered in fuel. Not just a little, but dripping wet. I pulled the rest and they were all the same. The car hasn't been run in over a month, and when it was run it was only run for a total of 15 seconds at a time, just enough to pull it in/out of the garage to work on it.

I'm going to pull the valve cover tomorrow and at least do a valve adjustment (unrelated) and a fresh falve cover (maybe related, although the plug wires are dry) and I'll let you know if I find anything fishy. In the meantime, should I be worried about this? I'm thinking it's a result of sitting for long periods with super short periods of running cold and then being turned off again right away. But, I'm not sure. Ideas?

 

reeky injectors? What year is it 88-91? Valve adjustments aren't going to help that but it is good to do them..... If it is 88-91 and dx I would deffinatly suspect the injectors.

 

Sorry, the info is in my sig. It's an 88 Si.

 

Any other suggestions? I'll obviously re-check the plugs after the car has been running for a much longer period of time, but for now (while I have it apart) I just wanted some ideas. Thanks!
