Topic: 1996 t100 2.7 flooding problem

[muddytaco]

ive got a 96 t100, i bought the truck to make into a truckbed trailer and have an extra motor but it has no check engine light on cold air and all i just couldnt do it, but in the last couple months its been parked because its flooding out, ive tried another mass air flow, new distributor, wires, plugs.  the check engine light will come on just as it is fouling and wont start again?? dont know what to do any suggestions??
also does anyone know how to upload images to these forums and the profile?

you need more posts to post pics.... I would have it scanned and see what it says...

Have someone fix it.

have someone fix it? nice. the check engine light wont come until it wont start, i have a 2007 modis snap on scanner and it shows no codes except a wheel sensor code that doesnt even make the check engine light come on.

so when the CEL is on, what code does it throw? Once the light comes on, there will be a code.

[Duffil]

I don't think that anything you changed could have caused it to flood out. I haven't done much with the 2.7, so I don't know what triggers the ECU to fire the injectors.  I know that they changed things a few times over the life of the engine as well.  Could be a crank or cam sensor, or the distributor itself.

Do you have a noid light? You need to see how often your injectors are firing at a given RPM, or how long they are staying open. Possible bad ECU IMO.

well the truck wont actually throw the code, it just comes on when it finally wont start. i changed all that stuff cause it didnt look like it was firing too hot and i had access to the parts. the dis is brand new. a friend came over today and we messed with it somemore, you could smell gas, so i thought it was flooded, so i cranked til it hit, it fired about 2 times and then without me touching the pedal it smelled like gas again, i took the intake tube off, cleaned the plugs, the tube, the maf sensor, with elect cleaner, and it did the exact same thing?

[Duffil]

you need to verify that it is getting spark when it won't fire. Were the plugs wet when you pulled them?

This is the friend that helped work on it.

 The spark plugs are wet when pulled.
They are also getting fire. They could possibly be fouled out now, but it will foul out new ones.

[Duffil]

OK. Then it goes back to seeing when the injectors are opening, and how long they are staying open.

Another thought: fuel pressure. You have a way to test it and make sure the regulator is doing its' job?

found it! we took the comp off my tacoma  and put on it and it ran like a top then we buried it up and my wifes truck and almost my friends 4runner, had to pull everything out with my fourwheeler winch lol, thanks for the help though everybody!

[Duffil]

guess I was right.

Glad you got it figured out.

[muddytaco [OP]]

thanks for the help i guess i should have realized it might be the computer when it would foul out plugs then throw a wheel sensor code lol!
