I just put the wifes 94 bird back together and had it running no problem and it ran well.The car has been sitting for 2 years and I ran it out of gas so I went and got some more sunoco 94 and put it in.Well I dont know what I was thinking but i turned the key on and pumped the gas a few times(wrong move) I do believe I flooded the dam thing.I also didnt realize that if you put your foot to the floor and hold it there it will stop the injectors from feeding the motor.Well i let it sit for a week and tried it the next weekend and when i first turned it over it wanted to fire but stupid me I never put my foot down and i think its flooded again.I tried many time throughout the weekend and no go.So I pulled 2 plugs and they are soaking wet.I dried them off and put them back and not even a sputter.This time I found out about putting my foot to the floor and kept it there even when I wasnt cranking.
I checked and I have spark and and i checked the fuel when the key was on and the fuel is bareley trickling out of the rail with key on.The wife cranked it over and the fuel shot up about 3 feet so there is lots of fuel.Now correct me if I'm wrong but if the crank sensor was gone I wouldnt get any spark what so ever.I ran a key on engine off test and it came back code 111 pass all codes.Im thinking of pulling all the plugs and let it evaporate now thats just my thought.Also when I turn the key on the upshift light doesnt come on.When I was doing the the key on engine off test the check engine light wouldnt go out after all the other dash lights went off.I think it might be more then just being flooded but who knows.
Does anyone have any suggestions.I know the engine runs well because we had it running.Please help me.The engine is fully rebuilt with a 580 lift cam and everything is fully ported and bigger valves ans so on.
