havin problems with my mates car,firstly we cant get it to start,disconnecting the grey plug on metering head lets it start but idle is very lumpy and its splutters when its revved,when we plug it back in it dies,what could cause this?fucked metering head?

secondly and this has me totally stumped,while cranking over to get it to start we're gettin fuel trickle out the exhaust manifold(where it bolts to head),how can this be?overfuelling caused by the metering head being fucked

the car was an xr converted to rs spec with everythin taken from a donor rs,we've changed the fuel pump to a saff 4x4 cossie one,surely this wouldnt make any difference to fuel?unless the metering heads fucked and letting too much fuel through

any help appreciated

the flap on metering head aint pushed down is it as if is this would flood the engine and make it leak from manifold it must have a lot of petrol in it for it to do that all 4 cylinders must be full

no,filter is off and meterin head is openin and closin as it should,it does pop when it under-revs and your trying to blip the accelerator a bit to bring the revs back up

also just noticed theres a slight oil leak from sump gasket,could this be the coz or be a part of it anyway?air leak coz by gasket not sealing?
