about 2 weeks ago there was a slow car in front of me and i grew impatient. i downshift into 1st and floor it just to make a nice pass with my stock engine. when i came to a stop the car just shut off on me and i had a very high fuel odor. i got some people saying my optispark went bad. other said my fuel regulator should get check. after i spend 130 on a brand new optispark cap and rotor i still had the same problem. this time i left it running and inspect everything and quickly notice i was leaking FUEL out the 7th exhaust manifold (possibly bend valve like i said in the earlier thread).
now this is on the driver side. i do have bad fuel odor coming out my passenger side exhaust pipe and the way i check it was putting my hand over the oil fill cap to feel for any pressure. nuthin. so im assuming this is ONLY problem at cylinder 7. im planning on swapping an LQ4 engine complete by the end of november but during the meantime how much am i lookin to spend in parts to repair cylinder 7 with me doing the labor? nuthin fancy cuz my heads are completely stock. or should i sell it and wait for the swap?
