So these are the pictures of my motor my mechanic says its the carb i was told its the throtel body but the problem is that the car wont stay on i believe the injectors are broken or something can anyone help me out thanks
ok do you own a timing light??? try to get it running and shine the timing light on the injector spray. see if it is spraying and dripping. it should be a uniform shower from the injectors.
I would be getting a new mechanic if they don't even know the diffrence between a carb and a throttle body injection system.
I would just get someone to hit the throttle with the ign. off first of all to see if gas is actually going through it. if not, I would unhook the fuel line to make sure fuel is actually being pumped to the injectors. then if it is I would expect the injectors.
obviously if someone trys to start it and you can see the gas coming out of the injectors thats not the problem.
I would also check the spark plugs, cap, rotor, ignition coil, fuses, just the basic tune up stuff. you could probably by a good throttle body off of someone on here for cheap if you have to or just switch the intake and use a carb, much better imo. good luck.
