Driving home today the beast died. . .backfired a few times and lo and behold left me stranded, dead stop in the middle of oncoming traffic. The D15B2 is bone stock minus a MSD Distributor. I am lost as to what has happened. So far I have pulled the fuel line off the fuel pump and checked that. I am getting good clean gas and I have checked the distributor, good solid spark. Anyone have any other suggestions? The timing is on and the car gave me no warning, just stumbled and died. It has fired up for about 5 seconds, but thats all. I now have the plastic cover off of the intake area and am getting, where I am going to assume is every full revolution, a fuel and air mixture sprayed out of there, spewing about 6 feet into the air. . .

am I getting too much fuel and flooding?
Is something broken internally?
I do not want to tear too far into this and figure out it was something simple. . . .anyone help out with this one?

thanks

You sure the timing is on? It sounds like your timing belt may have skipped a tooth.

 

lucky me. .. i am gonna have to double check that one. . . and how is milwaukee? Born and raised, active military in NC. . .be home soon, anything exciting coming up before thanksgiving in milwaukee?

if my timing has gone off, one tooth, am i looking at any smashed up valves? nowhere near done rebuilding the spare head. . .

 

bump

anyone else help me out with this? Is it possible for timing to jump off with no visible damage to timing belt? and if it is off, can i just reset it and hopefully roll?

 

Responded to your PM, just post some pictures up and either myself or somebody else can help you.

Milwaukee's still more or less the same, sounds like you got transferred out with the 440th then?

 

something simple. .. .didnt pay close enough attention checking timing. the damnt hex bolt fell out of this msd distributor that is on this beast. . . .found a new bolt,runs just as crappy as before

thanks
