so i went to start my 75 2.0 this morning. it has sat undriven for only 6 days, no big deal. i just removed the air pump and plugged the air injector jets last weekend.
i start it up and check out the engine bay to make sure that my plugs haven't backed out -- and i notice a very small amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust -- i've never seen this with my car, engine runs great. perplexed, i think i smell fuel -- look back in the engine bay and notice a little pool of gasoline accumulating beneath the metal fuel rail on the drivers side (cylinders 1-2). you've never seen a guy shut off an engine so quick! thank goodness i caught it before i started driving or the engine warmed up... my question: could the white exhaust be related to this? i'm wondering if a fuel injector is plugged -- maybe that would put too much pressure in the fuel lines, making them leak? in any case i think it's time to renew all of my fuel hoses (and perhaps install a fire extinguisher) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) |
