I assembled an engine for my mustang GT about 8 months ago, after i blew the last one up. well, there was a timing chain tensioner that was making noise, so i changed it. After that, i could not get the valve covers to seal - i guess because it's a PITA to put them on the engine while in the car. anyhow, i finally got all that squared away, and now the only way the car will run is on starting fluid. I checked the fuel pump fuse and it's not blown. I think i can hear the pump prime when i turn the key. I took the fuel rail feed hose off a couple times, and there is fuel in there. but the car will not idle, or even run at part throttle without spraying starting fluid in the TB. i'm not sure what the issue is.
cliffs: new engine, cars been sitting for a few months, will not run w/o assistance of starting fluid. need ideas on why.
does anyone have any ideas? thanks! :beer:
