I was trying to start my 91 RS and my son decided that while I was cranking and he thought it was going to start, to continuously spray the starter fluid. It started a fire, which continued to burn probably 5 mins. Now the car won't even turn over. What damage has been done??

 

pull th spark plugs, crank the engine for 5 seconds and put them back in, should be fine unless and wires or anything burned up!

 

Will try that in the morning. Thanks for the reply. I hope nothing burned, as I would have no idea where to go from there!

 

If it's a V6 it'll have a MAF sensor. It can easily be destroyed by a back fire or burning fuel/starting fluid.

 

the cylinders are probably full of fluid locking the motor up> seen it happen a ton!

 

Is six... its a V8 (305)
Iroc ZZ ... if they are full of fluid, will pulling the plugs as you said earlier solve that??

 

yeah, it should allow you to turn the motor over and pump it all out

 

Thanks a lot, I have really been stressing about this. (still am a little)
