So, I pulled this from a car that was sitting for 6 years! Unbelievable. The motor actually runs with starting fluid (no fuel to the rail "see below"), the prev owner claimed a headgasket failure but with a little cranking with a hot battery and some light oil in the cylinders it gave me 140psi compression, I did not do another since I got it to fire. It seemed to run fairly well and the turbo is 100% crap so I think they saw smoke and assumed the HG was bad /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif.
My big question is this, When I pulled the soft fuel lines of the sending unit under the rear seat (I think these are return lines?) One of them has positive pressure and was spitting fuel out at a decent pace, that was the one where the nipple is facing the drivers seat, the other one was dry (I think that must be the vent??). What would cause the return line to have pressure from the tank outwards?
My plans are to swap the gas tank out with a non sludged up one, as well as the fuel pump and hanger. I assume these injectors should be cleaned/tested before being ran? Any other suggestions?
