So my car let me down this morning. Started up cold I let it idle for a minute went to back out of my parking stall and puh. It died wouldn't start again no matter what I did.
I have fuel and spark. It turns over fine. But when I pulled a plug it was wet, so the engine is flooding itself I believe.
The fuel pressure measured at the inlet of the rail was ~48psi.
The fuel pressure doesn't change if I disconnect the vaccum line to the FPR while cranking is that normal or does it indicate that the FPR is faulty?
Bentley doesn't mention what the FPR should do when cranking, just that at idle it should drop the pressure to 43psi from 46psi at higher revs.
I have been having intermitant hot starting problems since I got the car a year ago, and it has been cutting out just barely when cold ie. it suddenly drops 200rpm CEL flashes then keeps going like nothing happened. I don't know if this is connected.
When I went to check it this afternoon it caught for a half a second like it wanted to start but didn't.
Thoughts?
