whooaahh, SOMETHING is not right.

Do you mean the intake manifold or turbo manifold? Intake manifold are on opposite sides of the engine.

Does gas flow when the pump primes?

how do you have the injectors wired? for fuel to be getting through to the turbo manifold and escaping the injectors would have to be basically stuck full on.

car is odb1 converted...i use a boomslang dx dpfi to obd1 conversion harness...and the injectors are wired to a resistor box(crx si) for my rc 440s.... now with this harness am i supposted to switch an ecu pins cause boomslang said no..so what could it be if they were stuck on full blast like u sayin? thanks

i think...i dont... understand...what you are trying... you know... what ...i'm trying to...maybe you...don't but...whati wanted to say....is this....but if you read what im trying to say....its hard to understand...but if you did...you can see that...im tryin'...ot help....you but ist...hard to undestand you..ya know

HOW ABOUT YOU TYPE IN FREAKIN' ENGLISH!

USE PROPER GRAMMAR WITH PUNCTUATION!

[/end yelling]


It's hard enough to understand what you are trying to communicate and you are not giving enough details as it is and on top of that you are making it hard to understand. Get technical or give up asking for help.

listen jerkoff im asking for help not your bullshit...the reason u cant understand me is because i was anwsering somone else questions above ur post thats why u dnt no what im talking about

i started my car after building it all year never started the motor before this is the first time...the car is turbo,converted to obd1 and using a resistor box for my 440 injectors...when i turned the motor over i noticed there is fuel seeping through the gasket in between the turbo manifold and turbo....you can see when i start it that the space between the two is wet when i touched it it smelled like gas...i dont no what it could be coming from if you can help me diagnose my problem id appreciate it

people say its maybe a bad regulator? but i dont no bout that u no dont see why that would be it but hey lmk what u guys think

It's possible it is gas you smell because old oil will have gasoline mixed into it that doesn't get burned off during combustion. The leak you have just made it more noticeable.

Ya, the car is "turbo" but that doesn't tell me anything. Rising rate FPR? What engine management are you using? Are you running with a base map? If you started the engine and the 440 injectors are dumping unknown amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber that would make the smell stronger. I'd 1st fix the leak between the turbo manifold flange and the turbo (so you can shoot big fireballs out the exhaust!) and post the results.

We can then try to decode the rest of your problems even though you still type like a 'tard or you make an effort to improve and maybe you'll get help faster and get your car back on the road sooner

idiot...the car is on hondata s300...car was tuned and is ready to go i took engine out to tuck the whole bay put it bak in and now this ****...and if i could fix the leak i would have but dont know why fuel is coming from between the gasket(for u illiterate morons)between the turbo and the manifold do u want me to put it in caps for u to understand u moron?

if you aint gonna help me diagnose my problem then **** off i had enough of your non sense talking...

i need reasons why this could be possible to have somewhere to start so plz cut the **** and explain to me what u think its could be...

This is information that you should have started with. If you TRUELY have gas coming out of your manifold, you F'd it up and gave your injectors a permanent ground with your wire tuck. Leaving them on anytime you have your key turned on. Pull off one injector plug at a time with the car running and place a test light across the two terminals: Blink fast= good Constant light= you F'd it up and need to find where you grounded out your injector wires.

Also, not to be a "jerkoff" too, but it does make it ALOT more difficult for people to read and comprehend your post when you don't use punctuation and be a complete lazy *** using abbreviations like no=know

look dont mean to offend anyone man ill use propr punctuation and no abbreviations sry for the confusion just frusrated as u all no when something goes wrong...now what do you mean by i have permanetly grounded the injector?something to do with my resistor box?my car wont start at this time the starter turns over but nthing...so i can test the way u told me to which blows but but i have a new cap and rotor spark plug wires and spark plugs...so dont see why car wont start. car does get fuel and spark...so i cranked it again and when i cranked it i saw that in between the turbo manifold and the turbo where the gasket is it something started seeping in between the turbo and manifold were the gasket meets the two when i smell the liquid it smelled like gas but didnt dissapate was kind of oily in a sense maybe watery not sure but i know it smells like gas...

again sry for snappin on you guys just frustrated like i said and need help i spent this whole year with this build and finally, come start time now this, you know.... sry again....plz help me id gladly appreciate it and would do the same for you guys if i could

dont know if this helps or am i just confusing u again but hopefully u can understand

Ok well heres what you need to look at: The car ran good before your wire tuck, you tucked the wires now it doesn't run/ start. It has to do with something you touched/ moved/ installed incorrectly. Take out all of your spark plugs and crank your engine. My guess is that your cylinders are completely full of fuel and you DON'T want it to Hydro-lock. When you crank your engine you should see alot of fuel shoot out of your head like Ol Faithful. Also, this will NOT hurt your engine so don't worry. If you took on a wire tuck yourself I would surely hope that you would understand how injectors work. My guess is that you gave the ground side of your Injectors (the ECU side) a permanent ground rather than requiring them going through the transistors inside your ECU in order to have the ground circuit pulsed on and off. Also, you can do the check I mentioned with a test light while just cranking if your car doesnt start. You'll just need an assistant obviously

No abbreviations my *** lol. Anyways, what he means by you having a solid ground means that your injectors wont "pulse" like they should be. You had to give them a constant ground meaning they are going to stay on all the time.

Sorry to make fun of you steviedoesn'tknocrapaboutbturbos, but you give me plenty of fuel? lol

Please stop with the name calling - you're gonna hurt my feelings and I'll stop helping and bumping up your thread.


help part:

Narrow it down further: The setup with the S300 ran fine before the wiretuck? Anything else you can add?

Pull all the plugs out and wipe up the liquid and let it dry out. You don't want to start the engine with a cylinder full of gas. Pull the turbo manifold and turbo off. Pull off the plug wires to be safe. Then you can have someone turn the key and you watch for the source of the leak.

It is possible you fried your injectors and they are stuck open. Get a voltmeter (cheap one from RadioShack for under $40 - you mean you did a wiretuck without a voltmeter - lemme guess - you sir are a genius!) Set the meter to OHMs and measure the resistance across the 2 leads on the injector. Since you are using a resistor box, you probably have low impedance/resistance (peak & hold) which would measure 0.5-6 Ohms. If it reads OL or no resistance, they are fried. If that checks out, you can trace the wiring back to the resistor box and then the ECU to see where the problem is. The idea is one lead will be ground and the other will go to the ECU through the resistor box.

Wait wait wait. You're using a resistor box while you're obd1? Isn't that a big no no?

Default Re: help!!!! fuel leaking from turbo manifold!!!!!

thanks guys for ur help dont mean to come off as a jerk which i did but sorry again...the injector on the number four cylinder is stuck open...i took the rail out of the intake manifold and switch numbers 3 and 4 injector to make sure it is the injector that is possibly stuck open but the same thing soon as i turn the car to accessory fuel was coming out of the injector so it must be permanently grounded as you said none of the other injectors were sprayin fuel but that one....im using a resistor box because of my 440's whiich are low impendance...now as i trace the wires from the injector clip back to the reistor box everything is correct,wiring wise. so any ideas? thanks guys

Like we said before, on the ground side of that injector you have a permanent ground. Look at EVERYTHING you touched that has to do with that injectors circuit. if you passed it through a firewall you should have it grommeted. If you pulled on it you could have stripped wire off of it. Somewhere you either made a connection wrong or exposed some wire. Don't look anywhere right now aside from that injectors ground circuit. Also.......be careful, since that circuit is carried back to your ECU....unplug it so you don't take a chance of frying it.

the problem isn't with the power wire/injector box. it's the ground wire that goes to the ecu. if it's shorted against the chassis or another wire somewhere, the injector will be stuck full on.
