On 1st cold start, injectors give the correct little spray to help start engine. Let engine run a minute or so, not enough to completely warm up. Shut engine off. Turn key on but do not crank engine. Hear loud clicking noises from engine area and injectors pour tons of raw fuel out, fills up the throttle body to the top and actually runs out the sides here and there lol Major fire hazard here.. This problem started kind of gradually, I noticed last few times I used the truck it didnt start correctly, sounded like maybe an injector had seeped a bit of fuel while sitting after being driven to the store, for instance - come back out of the store and it sounded rich.. had to kind of rev it a bit to get it cleared up. Windsheild wiper motor was bad and linkage messed up, so I replaced the wiper motor and had to re-adjust the wiper linkage which meant turning the key on and off several times. I then noticed fuel leaking considerably out the sides of the throttle body but air cleaner was still on, so I didnt realize what it was actually doing. I also heard this loud clicking sound when the key was turned to run but not crank over. When I went to start the engine, it had dumped so much fuel it would not crank lol Luckily it did not catch on fire. I figured I probably needed a new throttle body so I took the air cleaner off and was going to pull it, but decided to have a look at what it was actually doing and oh wow so much fuel being dumped! Whats causing this throttle body to do this?
