Got rear seats reupholstered pics coming soon! Idle gremlins were all solved with a part given to me by a fellow rennlister. Currently replacing ruptured clutch master cylinder, i was wondering if anyone can give me the procedure for bleeding the clitch system when its together?

dr bob

Probably the easiest/most effective way is to connect a hose between a bleeder on a front caliper, to the bleeder on the slave cylinder. Cycle the brake pedal to "reverse bleed" the clutch system. KEEP THE RESERVOIR FULL as you do this. That should get you most of the way.

Thanks dr bob!

More gremlins, its almost like the line is plugged, im gettin some pressure but not enough, ive tried bleeding it with a pressure bleeder from both ends but its not working, hellllllp

Loudogrules

Im having a hard time believing it.... But someone replaced the reservoir at some point but didnt cut the plastic tip that leads to the clutch.... Problem solved anyway haha

dr bob

So what are the chances that your clutch master-cylinder "problem" was just the fill line nipple at the reservoir was plugged?

Loudogrules

None, the master cylinder was visibly leaking. More new discoveries: slave cylinder is shot. Failure to start problem is still there. My car is sitting at my bank currently...

Loudogrules

I found out it wont start because its running very rich, anyone have any idea why?

dr bob

There's an oksi-maroon buried in here someplace...

Not starting and having a fuel smell or wet plugs is usually a sign of not enough ignition. But there's more:

You previously reported a symptom of hard-to-start after the car sits a bit after running. Symptoms are typical to a leaking injector -or- a leaking diaphragm on a fuel pressure regulator or damper. Either will cause fuel to flow into the intake manifold, "flooding" the engine. Pull the fuel pump fuse, crank on the starter with pedal to the floor to clear out the accumulated fuel... The car will sputter and run for short bit on the accumulated fuel, then die. Plug the FP fuse back in and immediately start the engine.

Thanks for the leads, ill give it a try

All right guys, im narrowing in on it and need a little help. Problem is lack of fuel. I have good pressure coming out of the filter and the pump bur im not getting enough at the other end. Im working with another mechanic on it but niether of us know enough about the injection sysytem to know what to do next. Any help is appreciated and theres no such thing as too detailed of an answer, thanks!

Disconnect the line at the filter and at the fuel rail and blow some compressed air through it. Report back with the results.

Loudogrules

Will do

Loudogrules

Blew the compressed air through, didnt change anything
