Posting on this fourm again because seem to get more answers here then anywhere else...
I just replaced headgasket,valves,timing belt. When i first started the car it ran like shit i later found the valves were adjusted wrong way so i fixed that and also found i didnt tighten down the IM all the way which caused a vacuum leak..
Now that i get the car to start and run pretty decent i have another problem with the car running too rich. I checked the injectors today all checked out good today with resistance and power and what not. I am very misleaded on what would cause this i know it can be several things such as o2 sensor, ignition timing, and a few other things i cant think off the top of my head. The spark plugs are completley black now when i pull them i have some gasoline on the threads they smell like gas. I spit out black smoke and black liquid at idle when i rev engine it spits out white smoke? But the white smoke reaks like gasoline? If anyone can lead me in the right direction that would be great! im in a rush to get this car back on road..
ALSO when i try to time the ignition by moving the distributor nothing seems to happen at all advanced or retarted it dont seem to effect the performance. I also backfire out the exhaust it sounds like only happens when i push down on the gas quick and hard... I am desperate please shed some light Im so close to get it running better then ever had. I know i now need spark plugs probly wires and maybe some new gas because its been sitting a week or 2 and low but none of that would cause a rich mixture
