Default #1 not firing and other problems

ok well my car is pissing me off....i fix the fuel problem so its not super rich but NOW....number 1 cylinder isn't firing. this is how i left my car last night. Which i was happy with it was no longer spraying gas out the down pipe.

number 1 is getting spark. so im assume its no fuel. check the wiring on the plug? i put OBD1 plugs in



AND now the car wont start and when i turn the key the car lurches forwards like its in gear the starter is cranking, and my clutch pedal does not come up when i release it.

WTF?

check & make sure your #1 injector has power & is not stuck closed

for the clutch
sounds like possible leak in the hydraulic system

check to see if the clutch master cylinder has fluid
also look closely to see if the master or slave cylinder show signs of fluid leakage

1. What method did you use to determine cyl 1 isn't firing? Also did you verify that all other cylinders are firing?

Usually when one cylinder is not firing, the engine should still start. It will just have a "misfire"

2. For the clutch issue, do as TUNED says.


Note: Start with the basics, always. Never jump to conclusions and over look somthing simple. I.E. "I have a cough, it must be AIDS!"

i know its number 1 b/c i pulled plug by plug on the motor and when i pulled number 1 nothing changed. all the others got pulled and the motor got worse. It has spark when i pulled 1 out i could see the spark hitting the VC.


im going to do the injector see if its that ill swap it to a cylinder that i know is working fine. and then ill check the wireing.
