Wet spark plugs..... Posted by Walt [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Tracing out the 1/4" vac lines on a 86, 8V, LuAnna, Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:36:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
LuAnna,
If your spark plugs are wet, they may not fire properly. If they are black and wet, they may not fire at all. This could be your problem. You may want to install new plugs, of if they are only wet, at least take them out and let them dry.
It's my understanding the cold start injector only operates for a few seconds when the starter is cranked, and the engine is cold. Making several unsucessful attempts to start the engine could flood it, and wet your spark plugs. However, if the cold st inj is leaking, it may let fuel into the engine, and flood it.
If you want to change the fuel filter, be forewarned there is still pressure in the fuel lines, and it will leak out when you loosen the lines. Wrap a rag around the fitting when you loosen it to soak up the gas.
At this point I don't think the filter is your starting problem. I'd replace the spark plugs and double check the distributor rotor, cap, and plug wire connections (number one is in the BACK).
