91 240 Wagon, 200+K, daily driver. Last week I suspected that I had gotten some wet gas. Had a hard start one day after work...stumbly start but eventually started. The following Monday, the car would not start, not even stumble. I was bummed. It has been awhile since I had to do the Brickboard troubleshooting thang. I write this post for someone else who may be having the same problem. I looked at all possible tips. No help. Everything rang out ok. I had put in a bottle of heet earlier this week, no help. Earlier this evening, I decided to crank it out longer than normal. I did get a stumble but no light off. I continued to crank and it started but extremely rough...so rough I thought the timing belt may have skipped a notch. Eventually, he cleared up but threw a 1-1-3 for injectors. I cleared it and everything seems ok for now.

So...we are in a season for water in gas so maybe some of the posts for no-start could be for wet gas.
