Ok i had a bad injector and was running on the 3cylinders and so i replaced that. But now the car doesnt even try to start and is getting an *** load of gas. I took the spark plugs out and they were covered in gas. Sometimes it does fire but just smokes and dies but that rarely happens. I need to know what to do because a guy is coming to look at my car this weekend!! Tomorrow!!THanks please help!!!

if this is an SR, I'd definitely look at the idle control valve (the tube that goes into the throttle body above the main intake) and shoot it through with some carb cleaner and see if she fires up. After that, start checking any home-made wiring/connectors (O2 sensor, MAF, etc), make sure the ECU connector is bolted in well, and make sure the two little grounding wires on the harness by the 4th intake runner are grounded (either one or both are fuel injector grounds).

good luck ~

You only replaced one injector correct??Then why are all of them covere in gas... Sound sliek your not getting any spark, but being it fired must mean your distributo is bad or you got a bad wire somewhere.. Check your main coil wire......
