Throttle position sensor- B230F

I checked under the car this morning and discovered a good deal of oil out of the rear of the engine...praying it's not a bad main seal-
checking the oil I saw what appears to be fuel in the oil.. it's black (like carbon fuel) this could be the cause of the leak under the car? what causes fuel in the oil? What is the fix?
I haven't turned it over -- I still haven't discovered why it won't start...it gets fuel and a spark... maybe it is a bad relay?

It sounds as though you're dumping so much fuel into the engine that it filling the crank case. You may want to change the oil before going any further, just to be on the safe side.

If that's the case, then you are REALLY putting fuel through that thing. Check out the regulator as someone suggested in your previous thread. If there's fuel present in the vacuum line, the regulator is shot. However, if there is NO fuel there, the regulator may STILL be shot. A pressure guage connected to the injector rail is the proof-in-the-pudding.

If you disconnect the fuel return line and then turn on the ignition to pressurize the system, you should get some fuel out of the return line. If you don't, the regulator is likely bad.

I tested the regulator by taking off the return line and turning on the igition key- gas went all over-
so I guess the regulator is okay? and the fuel pump is working...
I looked into the vent hole just above the cold start injector to see if it was wet with fuel inside the intake manifold.. it was dry but very much black with carbon deposits...
the AMM is showing about 3ohms resistance and the IAC is working..
just don't know....
guess I'll have to call a real mechanic...
