to much gas

i have a 94 geo metro that has a problem spewing gas out the top of the throttle body, thought it was a blown head gasket but have installed a new one and it is still doing it help please...

Is it coming upward from the fuel injector? Or is is being spit back out of the intake? Did you check your valves and timing? Please explain in detail...

I think your FPR is punctured.

Holy Sh*t, you replaced a head gasket, before coming here? So sorry we couldn't have saved you the trouble, but yea....check your Fuel Pressure Regulator. It likely has a hole in it. Furtunately, they're cheap and simple to replace. Once you remove the air cleaner, you'll see a little square cap with 4screws holding it down. That is where your FPR is.:smokin:

I hope this helps.

Your spark plugs may be fouled.

:runaround: oooohhhh, sorry, I'm lost now. You put the crank pully on and alternator belt and it won't run? I don't quite understand how that could have affected it.

leonbentz (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=411256) you my friend appear to be an ass, i am a pretty fair mech, but i am stumped on the crazy little metro, thanks anyway but i think you are here to just have a little fun with peoples ingnorance.

Sorry, don't mean to be an ass, but this really stumps me too. Don't worry, I had my fun dealing with a few things, but your case looks odd. There a good possibility that your injector could even have a bad o-ring. I believe there are two of them on it and if any one of them go bad, then it will spew out gas.:smokin:
