Default AAAARRRRRRGHH! ------- ENGINE!!!!!!

Okay, guys. Here's my fucked up scenario (What else is new?) Everything was running great a few days ago. No oil leaks. Sparks on all spark plugs and wires. Fuel delivery is great. That was two days ago.

Today, my engine feels like it's dying down every time I start. And when it starts, it weak, and I smell a lot of gas. What the heck could it be this time?

Give me some suggestions and I'll tell you if it was done... Please help!

The spark plugs are great and still have the gaps.

How can I tell if the dizzy or alternator is bad? It was running fine and was gunnin' it everyday. Battery still has a lot of power. Otherwise, it would have never started Saturday afternoon...

I don't think it's the FPR since I smell a lot of gas... It might be an ignition problem.

if you smell alot of gas . start there maybe your injectors are purgeing to much gas. might have to much gas in the cylinder tand therefor no sprk. therefor its bogging or dying.

clean off your IM and then run it for a while and see if any fuel is comming off the rail or around there.
