Re: 3RDGEN, LONG ISLAND, CRUISE,JULY 5TH

yea no go on my formula. the throttle body is leaking and needs to be replaced, and body work is far from done. I've been busting my balls for this and it really sux. I will be cruising around in a honda accord coupe tho so at least i'll be right with ya.

Dude the hike is not that bad. I am coming from Howard Beach, Street is coming from Jersey and soemone else is coming from Newburg NY; so the way I see it you have a pretty short trip.

Almost forgot... Inspection stickers are easy to get. Even running bad these cars are pretty clean on emissions.... (Unless you are missing your cat and stuff)

Check the injector O-Rings. My 92 Camaro had a injector that would leak when the car was off. Turns out the O-Ring around the injector was torn.

How do you know it's a hairline crack in the throttle body? How exactly did that happen, did you go at it with a hammer or something lol? Do you know exactly where it's leaking, because it's more than likely coming from the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel enters into the regulator, is regulated based on spring rate, then the applied rate enters into the injectors, with the difference going back in the return to the tank....

The injectors squirt fuel into the barrels, and is then literally sucked into the combustion chambers. For FUEL to be leaking out from the casting itself, would mean you have a crack in one of the BARRELS, because unlike a carb, fuel never sees the inside of the casting. It goes to the regulator, to the injectors, then squirts down into the intake plenum. Your leak is more than likely coming from the regulator itself. Check the inlet and outlet fittings, and make sure your using teflon tape, then check the regulator itself, and make sure it's gasket (not the throttle body), the regulators gasket isn't leaking....

A five minute fix is GUARANTEED, once I was to get there, of course....

I've been staring at my Throttle Body for days on end, customizing it (see pics), and trust me, your casting does not have a fuel leak, UNLESS you ported too much, and punctured one of the barrels. The leak is from your regulator, either the fuel line fittings, or it's gasket....

Re: 3RDGEN, LONG ISLAND, CRUISE,JULY 5TH

i thought maybe it was the throttle linkage, either that or the regul
