Hi guy’s,

Today, my GST did something new.

I explain :
I moved it from the garden to work on it. It starts smooth, i drove it to the garage to work on it.
Everything was fine. I started the engine 2 hours later, and it did the same this in the YouTube video below (it’s my car)

Timing belt is new.
The only abnormal thing is that my fuel tank is almost empty.
My air fuel ratio is near 17, at normal time it is at 14.7
The exhaust put water outside.
And once on five, this engine starts with difficulties...

Any ideas ?

Thanks, and sorry if my English is bad, I am from France :)

What does that fluid smell like? Sweet smell= coolant, fuel, well= fuel.

Wondering if you have a dead cylinder or stuck open injector?

Id do a compression check and investigate everything: check coolant, fuel related items, throttle body, pull plugs and check what they look like etc.
