alltrac is being difficult!, sorry needed to vent Options

[MaskedMan]

so like i just get back into town after a 3 week trip and i start working on my alltrac again. I got a compression tester while i was gone, and it shows that i have 150psi on all 4 cylinders. I also know i have spark. So i guess my fuel delivery is messed up somehow. A lot of fuel is just getting like poured in there, i can smell it in the air from my exhuast, it blows out all this white smoke, and i can smell the fuel in my oil too. Ugh i think i just likes to inject fuel like all the time. And idk if this is normal, but like if the wire leading the thick wire leading to the alternator and bolts on to it, touches the alternator itself, then 2 of my injectors activate even when my key isn't in the ignition ugh... crazy car... someone help!

You can get at it from the top.
Reach from the pass side between the strut brace and manifold.
It's way on the bottom.

Regarless, touching that wire should NOT cause the injectors to work.
The ONLY thing it should do if the key is out is spark and possibly blow your 100 amp fusible link.

It sounds like you have a short somewhere.

How does your engine bay look?
What condition is the harness in?

Its the ground wire for injector circuit...of course it`ll get the injectors to work if its not connected (if thats the only problem of course) and you re connect it.....had the same problem on a 185CS...once that wire was sorted out, it started up first time and has run 100% ever since.

I am talking about his problem.
When he touches the ALT wire to ground [or to his alt], injectors open.
This is NOT correct.............................................................

Obviously if the injector ground wire isn't connected, that is a problem.
Regardless, if the key is out of the ignition, NOTHING should make the injectors come one, ground wire attached or not.
What you suggested [check that ground] has NOTHING to do with his wire problem.
