Car has fuel problem please help

bigGuse · 12-20-2024, 03:37 PM

My car will crank and some cylinders will fire, but it won’t idle and it dies. I was able to successfully run the car on ether briefly as a test, indicating a fuel issue. Cylinders 6’s spark plug is SUBMERGED under fuel and I can’t observe any fuel line leaks so I’m assuming injectors. That shouldn’t keep the car from idling at all though, my guess is HPFP. Please help

Been informed that the liquid might be oil from the VCG even though it is very thin and smells like gas. EDIT: it’s 100% gas. I probably spilled it from loosening the fuel line directly above.
