Car does start?? (Was running Rich)
Car doesn't start?? (Was running Rich)
Hey everyone, I just did a HEad and CAm swap to my car. I installed a pair of AFR 190cc heads and a cc306 cam. With that also i installed a set of 30 lbs Ford injectors and a Adj. Fuel regulator. At first the car started with out any problems. It was rich because you could smell it from the exhaust. I used the car a couple of times for short distances. That was all finished before Xmas. I left home to my University and a week after i recieve a call from my dad that the car doesn't start. It was out of the blue. IT was working and then just wuoldn't start. Could it be that the Spark plugs are clugged or what else? Thanks for the help.

My guess would be that the plugs are fouled, especially running rich and driving short distances. Take the plugs out and crank the engine over a few times to clear the cylinders. Put a fresh set of plugs in there. You may want to pull the dipstick and see if there is any gas in the oil. If you smell gas in the oil then definately change the oil before you try to start the car again.

Can the Plugs be Cleaned with WD40 or something or Should i put new ones?Those plug in the car have less than 50 miles on them and are really expensive
