RE-EGI sensor identification - Problem: too much fuel
If this posted twice, I apologize, I hit the submit button before I had wrote the whole thing. I have searched all over for 2 days on the forums to educate myself, and have not found it.
I need help identifying a sensor on the RE-EGI of my 1985 GSL-SE. The sensor is located on the driver’s side, and it plugs into a black plug. Mine is broken. I need to know what this is and if it could be related to the problem I am having. I also have a 1984 GSL-SE, so I am very familiar with the flooding problems, and how to remedy that. I bought this car from a high school auto shop, and they said that it had not started in 4 years.
It cranks fine but sounds a little whiny, not normal, perhaps low compression? The main problem that I have noticed is that it dumps A LOT of fuel into the engine when I crank it over. So much that when I remove the spark plugs, they are soaked, and fuel actually runs out of the bottom spark plug holes. When cranking with all plugs removed, it does sound like it has good compression, but blows out A LOT of fuel again. I am thinking that the injectors may be stuck, but I have no idea how to get to them since the Haynes manual I have does not go into the FI system at all.
The teacher and the students at the auto shop already filled the thing full of ATF, tested the spark and compression, but used a regular compression tester for a piston engine. With that tester he had around 100psi on each spark plug hole, one plug removed at a time.
So what I need is a how to link to get to the injectors, and any suggestions.
Thanks!
