Thanks Jim. I realize I am not following proper procedures, and my guesses
are just that, guesses.
I've seen your name on many posts here, so I'm assuming you know your
stuff.
On that basis, could you explain how I'm getting fuel in the base.
Lets assume fuel pressure is low. Would it be that the injectors cant
atomize the fuel with a low pressure, therefore,
we get a dribble from the injectors? This dribble then wouldnt mix
adequately with air ensuring complete combustion.
This unburned dribble then seeps past the rings and winds up in the
oilpan?
I guess what I'm asking is : Will the injector atomize (or somewhat
atomize)
fuel with low pressure?
One more question if you dont mind. Can the fuel pump lose performance
over
time, gradually losing performance? Or is it an
"either its working or it isn't" kind of deal?
Thank you much for the response
Justin
