Ok guys..... Here goes

I took car for ride today. Stopped at Harbor Freight for a few things. Car ran fine in way there. Went inside @ 20 minutes got what I want ed and came back to car. Tried to start.,. Nothing. Just crank and crank. Did that a couple times, would crank it for 5-8 seconds. I might have done that 8 times. Ok for knowledge over past 4 weeks I have done BAP install and PPRV delete. I have driven car a lot since BAP @ 1k miles. No issues. Now the PPRV was done last weekend and got @ 150 miles on it. I could hear pump kicking on and after cranking could smell gas. When tow truck arrived, guy is a gear head, we noticed fuel dripping from under IC pump area. Well we found out fuel was coming out of the Throttle Body and running down and coming out through K&N filter. But here is what is confusing to me. I have NO pressure on fuel rails..... At all. So how is fuel moving up and coming out TB? Also anybody have anything similar and know what is going on?

so I had it towed home..:bored::bored: And pulled all the plugs and none of the tips broke or such. Blew a little bit of air to get fuel out of cylinders. Letting air out. Now tips were wet. I have checked all fuses, good. Any help would be appreciated.

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor, FRPS.

Yup exactly.

My car used to blow the FRPS under startup sometimes with a BAP. Look up the Kenne Bell burst disk. It is a small flat piece of metal with a tiny hole in it that goes in the rail under the FRPS. It softens the spike of fuel pressure on the FRPS. Worked for a few years for me before updating my fuel systems.

That plate is pretty inexpensive at $19.99.
