The MFI cars have a risk of going up during a restart (amongst other things) after a stall. Funny little fuel squirters (cold start enrichment) prime the throttle bodies. I've seen several burnt air boxes from just such a scenario.

The MFI cars have a risk of going up during a restart (amongst other things) after a stall. Funny little fuel squirters (cold start enrichment) prime the throttle bodies. I've seen several burnt air boxes from just such a scenario. Those fuel squirters are nicknamed "fire starters" and most mechanics either disconnect them or hook them to a manual switch in the driver's compartment. In stock form, they inject a short burst of fuel whenever you hit the key. Well, a hot engine doesn't need that. Mine has been disconnected on my MFI motor. The only drawback is longer cranking times to get the engine started when it is cold. I may hook it to a manual switch to make it start easier. |
