I'm having problems with my car and wanted to see if the source is within the throttle body/injector housing.

I took the cover off the top of the throttle body (black lid to the bowl on top) and opened the tb butterfly and the air meter type thing above it at the same time. When I looked down into the bore of the tb, I saw standing liquid at the bottom. I need to know if this is normal, or the source of my problems. Please help!!!!

 

Ive seen them do that befor. Alittle Gas ( liquid) is Acceptable. If it a whole Lot it will flood the Motor and it might not start.

 

The liquid fills up the entire bottom of the intake manifold (I assume) I can see no metal at the bottom of the hole.

 

So i Assume when you try to start the car. It wont start and smells like gas then huh.

If thats the case i bet one of you fuel injectors is stuck open.

 

I'm sure there is a way to test the injector with a volt/ohm meter, but I don't know which plug is for the injectors. I don't have the helms manual for a dpfi car. Any help on that?

 

Haha yeah i dont know how to test the Injectors on a DPFI car Ether. But i would figure they would be the same as testing any other Saturated Honda Injector. I see if i can find some infor on that.

But for the time being you can Just turn the Ignition on and see If its Squirting any fuel, When youre not giving it any gas. If you have a pool of gas that big it got to be quite a leak.

 

Well, I figured out that the pool is has been caused by cranking it over that many times Soaked it up with a paper towel and got it to run for just a split second Now if I can just get it to idle...

 

yah its running to rich. Check all ur hoses. blah blah blah. check ur injectors. if you have to replace the injectors. Just Swap to MPFI

 

Thanks for the help. Car is running like a champ now

 

What did it end up being. Just flooded?

 

Yea, it was flooded.

Because I did a dumb thing. Have you ever messed up the firing order?
