Crossflow Hydrolocking in fuel

Recommended Posts

Hi All.

 

I’m looking for some advice. I have an issue with my 250 Crossflow EFI Engine. She will start up and run (really rich) but then stop. I’m suspecting it’s hydrolocking on fuel (you can look into the cylinder and see a pool of petrol on top of the piston).

 

Is a rebuilt engine, running 10:1 compression, big cam and Megasquirt ecu and bigger injectors (as advised by the Injector Shop)

 

I need someone to help diagnose what could be causing this, I am thinking it could be (solely or a combination of):

- Open Circuit on the Injectors

- Overly rich fuel map on the Megasquirt

- Too big injectors

 

Any advise would be appreciated. And yes, it is an actual deep pool of petrol sitting on top of the cylinder.

Firewall end of the fuel rail. Take the vacuum line off and see if it wet with fuel or smells bad of fuel.
I had one leak through the vacuum line of the fuel reg once on a xflow.
