A shorted harness may be keeping the injectors open. The black smoke indicates a temp 2 problem. Could be missing a ground somewhere.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...... me again...good, am gonna burn that 84... he he he...

Recapitulation: 84, rebuilt head job...

Problem: no start when cold, and now, no start when hot!!!! Black smoke with heavy hesitation, kind a feel a it's flooded!

injecting brake cleaner in intake to start the van as a boost is the only way to start that van... when hot, everything is ok except for a lack of power after déceleration... and hitting back the gas pedal...

Fuel pressure as a slow leak, but a very slow one... every vaccum is plugued, ECU as been replace, as for temp 2 and other stuff... i don't have a spare 1.9 dijiget AFM, so i cannot do that test, but, by bentley, that AFM looks ok..

Everything as been replace... injectors tested, fuel reg as been replace with no change... am replacing the fuel pump tomorrow.... and the filter... but still... the aux. air reg. valve is open so i should have a "cold start"...

I feel that i have a fuel pressure ploblem... but am not sure... fuel pressure is ok....

Compression: ok

Help
