I was driving today in my civic, d16y8 on 9lbs, and was just down the road from my house, I got on it a little bit and shifted gears then all of the sudden like all the power went away and it smelld like fuel, i coasted into my house and there was quite a bit of smoke coming out. What does it sound like happend?

 

pop the hood. what does it look like happened?

 

well its dark out and i got a flashlight but nothing looks out of place, i can just smell gas pretty strong

 

im guessing the rings went out maby?

 

idk dude check in the mornin maybe a fuel line, but its gonna be like wheres waldo in the dark.

 

your going to wnat to turn the key a couple of times with hood popped to see the fuel squirting out.

look at fuel filter area on passenger firewall.

look at lines going to fuel rail.

look at fuel injector o rings for wetness/fuel.

 

yep so i got out today and turned it over and started it up, fuel started pouring out of one of the injector seals, hopefully this is good news, Im going to compresion test it and replace the seals and go from there

 

headgasket or piston rings? maybe your fuel line to your fuel rail came loose?

 

Its was my injector seal, hopefully that's it

 

dodged a bullet there lol. never heard of that happening before, i usually expect the worst

 

oh, at least u got off good...

 

Ya I had to clean out my pants a bit, I was rdy to part out my turbo kit and I had a ls I was gna throw in it lol

 

lol, so u had a horrible night then...

 

Ya not to mention I've had strep throat and a blown engine wouldn't help me too much right now with work n such so hopefully the seals are all that's wrong

 

i say your fine.. dont sweat it.
