ok guys save a Starion time,
the bloody thing is fueling up when trying to start the pri-k of a thing
I think it has something to do with the idle thingy at the front of the TBI
cause thats the thing I might have plumbed to a wrong vac line.
shit I changed all of them and they could all be in the wrong place.
hey realy I should be asking if anyone has a diagram of the vac lines ?.
in a JA starion.
cheers: Phil.

I take it you know how to perform a flood clear?

If things get really bad, and you have trouble fixing it, also attach a relay to the power side of the injector resistor pack. Then you can perform a manual flood-clear from inside the car, and start it anytime.

Hope this helps , BTW , Flooding is also common to a leaking injector. Take off your ECI cap (with injectors still connected) and turn your ignition on. If you see fuel accumulating on the injector nipple , they are leaking. Try squirting carby cleaner into the fuel inlet nozzle on the ECI cap and crank it over after re-connecting your fuel line (pointing the injectors away from the car and your face).

Hope this helps.
