So Ive got it to where you dont have to push in the clutch to start it. But anyways. Car has been down for 6 months. Clutch fork, then axle seal, then some other little stuff. Well i get it all back together today, put the injectors in, add fluids, pull the mpi fuse, prime the turbo for oil. Then go to start, dont hear fuel pump, okay connect that. Good to go. Same outcome wont start this time I smell gas, So i try and start again, wont. I notice my gas gauge has gone down 1/4 tank since ive been trying to start it. I get out and look under my fuel rail, puddles of fuel. Could this be causing the car not to start if its loosing that much fuel. Also I tried pushing in the clutch to start it and when I tried it made the weirdest/ most fugged up sound ever. Sounded really really bad, So I stopped doing that. Any idea what that could be. I did take the tranny out and put it back in.
