Griff willna start!

[clarky5150]

my 4.3 has been off the road for a few months whilst a few jobs were carried out (oil pump, check cam etc). Put it all back together last week and it fired up and ran fine. Re-sealed the exhaust and went to start her yesterday and not a sausage! Getting a spark from the plugs and fuelling to the point of stinking out the garage. When putting the plenum back on i couldnt remember if the fuel regulator had a vacuum pipe on it to the back of the plenum so i put one on. Could this cause the car to overfuel and flood?

Any help much appreciated.

Fuel and spark should make explosions .. strange.

I had a similar thing on the family car, in the end I unplugged the fuel pump relay, cranked it over until enough fuel was pumped out of the exhaust and it attempted to fire (ran for 2 secs). I then plugged the fuel relay back in an it started and ran perfectly.

Worth a try - but strange why it happened in the first place since you have both the ingredients.
