Hi gang!
It's been over a year since I last subscribed so forgive me if this issue
has been recently addressed. My 83.5 Camper engine died on the interstate
- no bucking or rough running, just that sickening instant and total loss
of power.
Parts replaced in the last 10,000 miles:
4 new Bosch injectors
New AFM
Coolant temp sensor
Rebuilt distibutor
New fuel pump and filter
New ignition module
New Bosch coil
Spark is a strong blue flame but the plugs are soaked with gas. When I
unplug the fuel pump at the relay box the engine starts and runs for a few
seconds and dies. When I plug it back in the plugs are wet again and
engine will not start.
What can cause such an overrich condition that prevents starting? The fuel
pump runs for a few seconds and shuts off with key is turned to "on"
position - I believe this is normal.
Good to see the list is still hopping!
