Hydrolocking with gas

Hi everybody,


I'm getting to the end of my project : jetta mk1, golf mk3 gti engine and trans + Megasquirt 2 (controlling fuel + ignition). For a week, i cranked it several times but without ignition control. Each cranking attempt was done switching on / off MG.

Today, i tried to crank it but the cylinders were full of gas ! Is it possible for the "priming" pulses (when switching on and off the ECU ) to flood the engine like this ?

The O - rings are new in the rail.

It can happen if the priming pulses are too large. You will want to make sure the injectors aren't stuck open, however.

Thanks, it was due to faulty seals...
