How likely is this? I have just installed a aftermarket fuel pump and a rci tank. I disconnected one side fuel rail and tried priming it until fuel came out. It never ended up coming out that side. I am wondering if it y's into each rail or if it may be a continuous circuit. Eventually after trying to get fuel up there my started stopped engaging. I still didnt see fuel on the rail i had disconnected. I reconnected the fuel rail and primed the fuel pump 2-3 more times and then when i disconnected the fuel rail fuel came out. I am wondering the odd of my engine possibly to have been getting fuel on the one side and being hydrolocked and not allowing my starter to turn or if thats crazy talk on now days motors and that I just need a starter.

In a day or 2 when I get time I will be removing the plugs and testing it that way, but for now just curious if anyone else may have been in my shoes.

 

I just pulled a few plugs and didnt get any liquid at all on my swab. I smelt the oil and its a faint smell of gas. I would assume it may slowly have seeped down into there. Also the system is a loop with a pressure regulator just prior to the return line to the tank from what im told so that makes it even less probable. Hoping it is all good to go with a new starter and battery.

 

well im bringing this back up. It WAS hydrolocked on fuel. I pulled all plugs and launched that shit out. It came out like a geyser. It only came out of one piston though? Does that make any sense at all? After I drained it all out i put the plugs in and tried starting it. It turned over for about a minute before locking up again. It never even seem to try and start. Im at a loss, i know jack shit about this. I dont see how it is filling one cylinder and why only one. Any input is greatly appreciated.

 

Is it possible that one injector is stuck open dumping all the fuel into that one piston. Try swapping it... I know the injectors are a pita to get out cause you have to pull everything off

 

i was thinking injector also, but would that make it not start even after i cleared the piston?

 

Subcribed. I'm interested in the outcome.

 

from my research a stuck open injector can cause it to not fire, i am in the process of pulling the injector to inspect/clean it/replace it. I probably wont finish until tomorrow afternoon. It very well may not be sparking either, so i am going to try and test the spark and also possibly put in new plugs as there all out at the moment.

I really should verify the fuel pump is truly putting out 60psi also
