the car will NOT start.

tach is moving when I crank the engine... I jumped the fuel pump relay, I am getting power to the coil.

I crank for maybe 8 seconds and then it wont crank anymore. I pull the plugs and ALL of them are soaked with gas (number 3 was almost FULL).

I've cleared out the cylinders and put the plugs back in and it just keeps filling the cylinders with fuel.

Does ANYONE have ANY clue what the hell is giong on. It seems like the injectors are stuck WIDE OPEN.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

STOP doing that!!!!!

Either your fuel pressure regulator or the other fuel thingy (I can't recall the name) is leaking fuel into the vacuum hose.

You are washing down the cylinder walls scratching them. You are also diluting the oil in the sump.

As soon as you replace the problem part, change the oil before starting the car.

I think the other "fuel thingy" Claus might be thinking is the "fuel pressure damper". I think you have some good adice here please let us know what your resolution is.

Yea, that's it. Brain fade . . .

Ditto the advice given. Pull the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator and see if there is gas in it. Be careful with the gas -- have a fire extinguisher handy.

like I said, fuel is coming out the top of the FPR - so I assume that its bad.

Hopefully this was the problem - thanks guys!

That could just be from the extreme pressure.
I've also heard of something similar when someone accidently clogged a fuel return line while working on stuff.
