Here's a new one... 200 1978

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob Weadababyeetsaboi on  Wed Dec 7 14:35 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I used the search function and got nothing on this one, gotta be a new one. So did a stage 0 tune up onthe b21f. Hasnt run in quite some time. New fuel pumps, injector gaskets, intake gasket, the works. Well it started up on the first try. Lots of white smoke, i mean lots, plus there is gassy black liquid on ground beneath tailpipe. Right before temp gauge moves up the car dies, about 2 min..then wont start for a couple hours if not a day. figured it was the cooant sensor at back of block (read a post on this), or maybe fuel pressure too high (no gauge!) I unplugged coolant temp switch and i think i turned the fuel screw 3mm about one forth turn counter clockwise (didnt feel any resistance, dont know if i connectedwith it). Well started it back up and the car ran terrible, died in about 45 sec to 1 min. got out of car, looked under hood, and the blackish gas mixture was pouring (around a quater to a half a gallon lol) from the airfilter. So much fuel pressure it blew it back down the intake hose and out filter? WTF? I know i need a fuel gauge but any ideas until i get one? Thanks in advance.

p.s. probably going to need a new air filter
