Cylinder filling with fuel

Asked by Salad Jul 30, 2009 at 04:38 PM about the 1997 Pontiac Sunfire 2 Dr SE Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Looking for ideas on 2.2L fuel problem. What would cause the #4 cylinder to fill with fuel? We're getting this checked but the machanic is scratching his head.
They changed the fuel regulator, injector and no change. Then thought about changing the fuel rail. But now find that on 97 it was incorproated into the intake manifold. I don't have deep pockets for someone to experiment and guess. If anyone has a good idea, I'd love to hear it..........thanks

I'm having an eerily similar problem. Have you found any solution?

Might be an issue with the valve not closing all the way, could be a bad spring

2001 Pontiac Sunfire engine noise. The noise can be described as a ticking noise that accelerates with additional throttle. Engine cylinder head was replaced right before the noise began. I have already replaced the oil with little luck. The noise seems to start when the engine warms up and quiets down at high speeds. Any suggestions. 11 Answers
