Misfire and no start

Post by Darren01 »

Howzit guys,

So I am not sure if this has come up coz I've looked for a situation similar to my own but couldn't find anything. I recently overhauled my 2l 8v 2e motor and Ive been having some throttle body issues before. Car doenst idle correctly when the throttle body is plugged in but when it is unplugged it idles but very low. Now it seems like it overfuels when I try to start because if i clamp the inlet fuel pipe it starts up but once I let go it dies. Once it is started it wont idle and it misfires and backfires like a motha when I try and rev it up...

Any suggestions?

Internally broken fuel rail, possibly.
