[go240]

i'm looking for a few more ideas on my crank-no start before i tow it to a shop. here's the run down on my problem. a few weeks ago my car started having occassional hard starts. it would crank a while, fire, die. this would repeat a couple of times before it would idle. after that it would drive perfectly (no odd idle, no missfiring). this started happening more and more. then the car would just crank, wouldn't even fire.

this is what i've done so far trying to fix the issue:
walbro 255lph (i would have gone stock but this car was supposed to go ka-t this month)
z32 fuel filter
checked the vac line on fpr for gas - it was dry
new wires, cap, rotor


what i know - the car has spark at the coil and at the plugs. the fuel pump primes and provides pressure (can feel the line get stiff). sometimes on the first crank it will pop, but then it will smell very flooded after cranking it somemore (it did this even before the walbro 255).

i'm not sure where to look next, maybe several of my injectors are going bad (sticking or leaking) - can i put sr 370's in to test (have a set from my other 240)?

any help is appreciated, thanks
