aight,i changed my spark plugs and wires, i had to take apart tha TB and y pipe,etc. changed the plugs wires,etc.i made sure all the connections were good.(electrical,vacuum lines,etc). then i put everything back together, now there is no power whatsoever. now this is the thing..when i took it apart AFTERWARDS it still had power, then one day it rained,when i go to open the hood i see that were the battery sits..is wet. the bottom of the battery was completly wet. i bought tha battery about 6 months ago so its not like i've had it for a couple years. im gonna go test tha battery at autozone to see if its dead.

I lived in Fl. also and I know how it rains there. But if you are getting that much water under the hood then your seals around the hood aren't working, or it was sitting out in a hurricane. You might have got water in some other things, of hand the fuse box, dianostic box, are just a couple of things right behind the battery. Better check those things for water to. The battery possibly could have shorted out with a lot of water sitting on it.wchico15 said:
Were you at in Fl?
just for future plug jobs. the y pipe doesnt have to come off.
did you plug the AFM back in? i know when i did my comp test my friend didnt plug the afm back in and he freaked out when he tryed to start the car because it kept dieing.
i know how it is tho its been rainin crazy for the past couple of weeks.

Sounds to me like your battery possibly shorted out.
Check your efi fuse, and your fuseable links.

yea i was just tellin you, yea check the EFI relay and test the battery if you have another car just for temperary put the other cars battery in yours just to see if its the battery.
turns out my battery was dead. i just got a new one so now i have power. but theres another problem, when i go to start tha car it cranks but that thing(valve? seems pressurized) at the top of the intake manifold spits out some oily liquid shit, so i now i gotta replace that line. btw wat is that thing called. i'll try and post some pics up.
(BTW this was taken before the spark plug/wire change.)

I think AJ's right. That's a pressurized fuel line that is a shrink fit to the two banjo fittings(one on inj., one on the fuel rail). Auto Zone does sell a repair kit that you can use to replace that type of line, but I've never had good luck with it. Always winds up leaking again, and I wind up going to the dealer for the correct part anyway.

is it squirting out "some oily liquid shit", or is it gas??
