Car: 83 245 turbo
Issue: car won?t start because the cylinders are filling with fuel. .
History: I bought the car non-running, limped it into the shop, got it to idle and drive but not well. Discovered a cache of forlorn k-jet parts and went to town preparing engine for swappage into my 242. After replacing wire harness, WUR, and cleaning fuel distributor (FD), car wont start and injectors are going full blast whenever the pump is running.
What I?ve checked: shaft is not binding/stuck in FD, no debris or torn o-rings in FD, metering flap is not stuck and moves freely, all electrical and fuel line connections are in correct positions.
My theory: based on what I?ve learned about the system, the injectors are getting full fuel pressure (or more than none/a little which is what I believe they should be getting with the flap in resting position, ie no airflow) because something is allowing fuel to pass through the FD unmetered.
Question: does anything other than the FD shaft, controlled by the metering flap, control volume of fuel passing through the FD?
