Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start 1991 Camaro 3.1 auto. Never had a Starting issue until last week. noticed it right off the bat one day after work, it took 3 times longer to start. and its been that way since. and when it starts it chuggs a bit then Perks up and has the normal high Cold idle for a second and drops down and drives fine. However, Ive noticed a Spot of oil in my parking spot, Had to of started last week. I looked, its coming from the top backside around the dist. Im not sure if its the dist, or the lower intake....... The Fuel pump is a bosch replaced last march with the fuel filter and injectors. New Plugs/wiresCap/rotor/ICM about a yr old.. Fuel Pressure regulator.... Not sure about that. I check for leaks but Nothing i could tell, sucked on the line, and can def. taste gas, but wasnt getting liquid. So im weary of it....... |

Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start and isn't the oil pressure sensor tied directly to the fuel pump? The fuel pump won't turn on until the oil pressure gauge reads a certain PSI. may be a bad oil pressure sensor |
Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start +1 for oil sender bad |

Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start I completely understand. So I go out this morning. unplug an injector, and unplugged the FPR to get to the injector. I shouldve plugged the FPR back in.... anyhow i put in a 194 bulb. Turn the key on, Fuel pump kicks on. as soon as i cranked the bulb flashed a few times and started right up. the oil leak, i gotta get a better look in there.... |
Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start Anyone know anything about a cold start valve on the 3.1l? |
Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start .................... |
Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start yeah and if so where is it because it talks about it in the chilton's book says its on the fuel rail but i don't have one on mine. |

Re: Very recent oil leak, and extended Crank to start I hate searching posts. and having people discuss a issue but never tell the results. So I clean the motor off. and i found the Oil leak. I am 98% sure its the Distributor gasket..... I checked the Pickup coil- good 1.4v cranking. Dist. cap and rotor clean hardly any Ionized bs. however i yanked the EGR... the 3 little valves are somewhat loose i think it leaks a little bit.............. so i made a plate to block the Exhaust port.... WOW its a whole new car lol geeez. Idles 70%smoother and throttle response is def. noticeable. only one prob. it kicks the CEL light on now when highway cruising. O'well for now i guess. I drive 12miles to work. and 12 miles back. so not a big deal for now. But those are my results. |
