Yes, when i feel from underneath there is gas dripping off of the breather pipe, but only the bottom of it where the tube that connects to the dipstick tube is wet and obviously i travels down the DS tube. But it is also all over the bottom heater box tin but is dry around the injectors and the fuel lines? > > also it doesnt leak when the fuel pump is on only > when > > the engine runs > > Except for ~1 second when you first turn the key ON, > the fuel pump should not > run unless the engine is running.

Someone put a toggle switch in to start the car....basially hot wired it. I found the fuel pump relay and treid it the way its supposed to be wired in and the white connector with the blue and the wblue and white striped wire (terminal 85 and 86) doesnt seem to be getting the resitance it needed....so Ive just hooked the fuel pump up to the the 2 termainals that go to the engine like in the idiots guide T2. this is the only way the pump will run and seems to work. so wheni start it I just plug everything in and then start it....I really hate to do this but at this point i need to get it running as the city is already on my butt. > > On another note could the rings be so bad that its > > smoking that much? > > It's possible, but I seriously doubt if that is your > problem.

I will do a compression check today heather BTW would it help if i video taped the engine running? and/or pictures of the setup that ive done? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
