OK.. been having problems all day. This just tops it off. I *****ed something up bad bad bad. For some reason my motor is full of gas. Intake mani, tb, oil pan, internals, even the bottom portion of the fmic. What the hell is going on? All i did was replace the fuel injectors. Would flipping the fuel lines around on the fuel pump do this? some of my vaccuum lines on the tb was mixxed up. i had the fpr hooked to the top left and then that went to the bov by mistake.. the top right went to no where besides the canister and the bottom one went to the canister also.
What do u do when your motor is full of fuel? am i gonna have to take it all apart and clean and rebuild? i probably only cranked it max of 10 times!!! i think something is messed up with the starter. what would cause this? i'm in need of major helpp.. please
GAS in my motor. NEED HELP please

yeah.. i noticed one of them had a couple tears in it. that could be it? but what do u do about all the internal stuff in the motor. gas can't be good on the crank and the cylinders. I'm talking lots of gas. gas coming out of my throttle body, and all the intake mani. runners full........ugh.. am i looking at a complete tear down of the motor? and clean it and oil it

that would be my guess too, defiantely rebuild time and triple check the hoses when putting all together.
take the engine apart and clean everything.
gas wont hurt the parts but do not try to run the engine with gas all in it... = BIG FIRE! also more friction cause it dilutes the oil.

Did you reuse the o-rings? If you did, there's your problem. They tend to dry out as soon as they are pulled out. And this makes it much more susceptible to tears wen you reinstall them.
As far as clearing out the gas, once you get the fuel issue fixed, pull the spark plugs and disconnect each of the injector harness plugs. Crank the motor with the gas pedal all the way open. You may want to line your engine bay with some rags to keep gasoline from splattering all over the place. A lot of it will come through the spark plug holes. Some will go out your exhaust. Make sure you remove the spak plugs. Too much fuel in the cylinders will cause hydralock. At the starter's cranking speeds, it shouldn't cause any damage, but gas will try to squeeze by the spark plug. Don't ask me how I know this. Hopefully it will suck out all the gas that is in the intake. Short of this, you may have to get a vacuum pump and stick the hose down each runner to manually suck the fuel out.
Good luck.
I was puzzled, but the diagnosis makes sense. Good call guys. And very good advice too, aside from the "fire" reco. I'll add that you should do an oil change now, and another one after you've driven around for maybe 100 miles or so. Nothing you can do about the wear damage already done, but do what you can from here on out.
