she's dead

MIGHTYJO3YOUNG · April 27th, 2008, 03:07 PM

Well just a few min ago i went to start my car up. When i turned the key....Instant fire. I guess one of the fuel lines to the fuel reg broke or somthing and was just spewing gas everywhere. How it ignited right as i cranked the engine is beond me. The motor was cold! I ran up to my 3rd floor apartment as fast as i could and grabbed the fire extinguisher. I felt the car run better than i ever have earlier today and now shes dead. The engine is not even a year old so my hope is to swap it into another car. I don't know though. Ill post pictures later.

Weren't you doing something with a regulator?

Doesn't look to bad, I'm sure you'll have it running again with a little work.

Yea, a universal adjustable fuel regulator. Was it worth trying to save a few bucks? NO. Im probably going to start cleaning it today. How hard is it to go carbbed from efi? If i did do that, Do u think it would be cheaper than trying to redo the harnesses in there?
