ok I know I saw before someone post about fuel injectors not spraying but dripping or running fuel.

well mines doing that, running out, flooding the engine to death, with both hooked up I have to floor the gas pedal and crank it forever and it sputters and sputters and finally starts, smokes raw fuel out the pipes, flooded TO DEATH!!!!!!! I can unplug one injector and it run but rough.

So tell me am I looking at injectors? or just tbi rebuild?

I am almost certain the cause was being almost out of fuel in tank and picked up trash or the fuel broke down into gummy varnish crap.

it's dripping fuel while not running right..?

if so, then you need to replace the injector/s o rings...just buy a TB rebuild kit, it will have all the gaskets/seals/ and o'rings needed for a complete rebuild...it would also be a good idea to replace the fpr while it's apart....

it will only run if I cram the pedal to the floor, then it sputs and sputters for awhile before it does run, smokes while trying to do so, with 1 injector unhooked either one makes no difference it'll start and run first try just rough.

fuel seems to be a heavy steady drip or more running thru like rich.

I kept seeing online last night alot had said CTS would cause such issues. I think I'm going to try it first, if not then tbi rebuild for sure.

It runs rough when you unplug 1 because only 4 cyl. Are getting fuel. Definatly check cts and grounds on tstat housing stud.

grounds I relocated.

it runs better or runs with the 1 side unhooked, with both hooked up it will not start unless I floor it and wait forever for it clear out some.

pretty sure CTS is the problem. I went out fired it up, ran rough died, restarted and it idled, higher then usual, checked spray and it was running not a fan spray more run then anything, and they were pulsing you could feel it hit and not, by holding your finger under the gas dropping.

I unhooked the cts and tried it, started the same, ran the same, ran gas out the injectors the same, pulsing and all, no spray just like huge runs.
