My friends grandmother has what i believe is a 89-90 chrysler/dodge caravan or whatever chrysler named. It has the 3.0 FI in it. Well she called her today at work and it wouldnt start, so i told here to tell me the symptoms, and she kept saying the hose connected to the intake manifold had fuel comming out of it i was thinking fuel line or egr. So i checked it out when i dropped her off at home and her grand mother started it well before she starts fuel comes running out of the throttler body, it was only a little bit and i know nothig about these vehicles except whats basic on every car engine. So she starts it, it cranks for a good 30 seconds and i tell her to stopp next thing i know about a 1/4 gallon of gas comes pouring out of the throttle body. All i could say was holy shit.
I told them to take the top of the manifold off to see what was inside, like i said i know nothing about these cars. But if anyone can give some insight on this its greatly appreciated, other wise i have to pic her and her husband up for work and drop them off until its fixed.

Wow that didnt even cross my mind at the time, i guess 10 hour work days really put a hurtin on you. like i said i know noting of these engines, give me a honda, toyota, or chevy and its a different story. Let me tell them this cause her grandmother was cranking on it to no end, i told her to stop cause she would burn up the starter but she holds it down for over a minute.
And i thank you for the info.

That and possibly hydro-lock the engine if that much fuel is in the intake..
