Re: [T3] poor emissions new update

["cesaro suma" <cesarosumability@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>two new things to report on...
first i started pulling all the injector sockets, all had a noticable 
effect. then i started pulling the plug wires at the cap all had an effect, 
then i got to the last one (no. 4 but i'm not sure) and the metal (brass?) 
soket on the wire was retreated into the rubber elbow. it looks like it got 
pushed in there and has been jumping a spark ever since (but i did notice 
the engine change so it has been getting at leat partial spark for a while). 
it was covered in blue deposites and is now discolored. the rest of the 
wires were still very shiney. i had to stop the engine to fix it, and when i 
started it back up, i noticed no change.

second...
i have a hose running from the pass. fuel rail to something that looks like 
an injector inder the air dist. i think i read somewhere that they only 
hooked a cold start valve to this rail. but it doesn't look like any cold 
start setup i have seen in picks. i snapped some shots and just uploaded 
them.

they are kinda dark, but it looks like a regular fuel injector. i unplugged 
the socket for it, and the engine did not noticably change, but i *think* i 
did not smell so much of a fuel smell from the exhaust anymore. maybe just 
wishfull thinking.
could this injector be faulty or something?

when the engine is cool tomorrow, i plan on checking the plugs.
my fuel economy is right aroun 25mpg. sounds pretty good to me (better than 
my 96 subaru outback). i did replace all the injector seals and plastic 
mounts, along with one injector when i got her (about 6mo. ago). all the 
injectors looked good. not perfect spray, but none leaked and all looked 
good.
