yes they were soaked

 

If they were soaked, then it either is getting WAY too much fuel.

Or it is not sparking when it should.

I am leaning away from the Opti now though. I think your problem is elsewhere. Double check all the sensors and make sure everything is plugged in.

 

As Injuneer stated, that sensor needs to be plugged in or it will run way to rich. How long have you been trying to test it with that sensor unplugged? That could easily be the cause of your wet spark plugs and over rich condition.

 

My GF's car ( Cougar) had a bad coolant temp sensor ( For the PCM, not Gauge) connector. It would run rich as hell and got pretty bad mileage for a smaller car. So its possible it could cause a no start.

 

i put a new senser in about a week before the car died could that senser cause the bogging when you give it throttle ????????

 

Yes cause if it is reading -40*, it is already rich. You open the throttle up, the MAF reads more air passing by it, and that signal causes the PCM to lengthen the injector pulse width, making an already rich car get even more fuel. It could cause the bogging if it is a bad sensor.

It would really help if you can get it on a diagnostic scan tool to see what that sensor is reading. And also to check for any trouble codes, or readings that seem out of whack.

 

i will see i my buddy will bring over his mac scantool is there anything else i can try. oh i almost forgot i tried to start the car tonight and i pulled the 2 injector fuses under the hood and the car fired right up ran out of fuel and then died so i would plug them back in crank on it and then pull the fuses out again i know i am getting way to much fuel i have changed the pump and the regulator what else can i try?

 

do you think that changing injectors would help ?

 

Replacing the injectors will help if they are leaking fuel. That's very easy to check, by lifting the rails with the injectors intact, and pressurizing the fuel system (do not try to strat the car), and looking for drips.

Have you had it scanned for codes?

Have you checked the coolant temp sensor?

Do the injectors match the programmed flow capacity?

 

i am trying to find some one local who can come by my shop with a scan tool my trailer is in another state right now hauling cars to a machine gun shoot so i have no way to take the car anywhere to have it scanned. What should the resistance be on the coolant temp senser? i will test the injectors when i get off work tonight thank you for all of the advice to this point.

i am in tulsa ok

 

I am going to bet this is a bad cat.

try unhooking the exhaust before the cat/cats and i bet she will come to life!

 

I would recommend spending $90 on a cable from AKM Cables. Then you can load Freescan on your laptop and plug it into the car to get a look at exactly what the PCM is seeing and doing. It's much cheaper than trying to find a scanner, and it is also easily as functional, if not more functional.

 

Do You Have Fuel.. When You Did The Pump Maybe You Messed Up The Float. Please Check That

 

where can i find the AKM cables and the software do you know the website ?
