Cold Start-Up Problems, engine flooding out
Ok so I seem to have a problem with my 95 240sx. The car just does not want to start. And you can just smell the raw fuel.
Let me give a little background info. It’s a turbo ka24de, upgraded injectors and fuel pump, controlled by SAFC-II, running 10 psi. My brother was driving it and blew a charge pipe off and limped it home until I could fix it. After that I tried playing with the Decel feature on the SAFC-II and the motor just flooded itself out, so I undid the decal feature and put the sttings back to what they were previously. I pulled out all the spark plugs and cleaned them all up and reinstalled them. The car was really hesitating but started up, and I drove it around for about 10-15 minutes then the car seemed to be fine. Drove it to work the next day and everything was great, no problems starting. Now today I pulled the car out of my driveway without problems, washed it, then about 4 hours later, I went to put it in the house and it kind of half *** started, kind of struggling then died, then after that it wouldn’t start at all. I could smell fuel, so I turned the key without running the fuel pump (in between running the starter and “on” and finally got it to start, and then the car idled pretty well. So I guess what I am wondering is, could I have a bad injector? Or what is causing the car to pour fuel in at idle or prior to turning the key ??
