so i have a problem with my fd its been ongoing for a month now and i cant seem to figure out whats really going on.
anyway heres the problem when i came to a stop at a stop sign the car stalled on me and would not restart.. it took me about a week to finally get it started again and it ran decent went into boost fine and boost ten pounds so after running it for a while to clear out all the gas and oil from the engine i parked it at home for the night.i went out the next morning to start it..and all i got was cranking it seemed like it wanted to catch and fire a couple times but it didnt.
so i got it towed down to my friends shop and unflooded it again and i made sure i had a blue spark so this time it started but it couldnt idle .. i figured you know.. it just got unflooded so thats normal.. so i drove it around a bit again.. and after about 30 mins of driving i tried puuting it into a little bit of boost.. i couldnt even get to 5 pounds of boost becasue all it did when it entered boost was backfire like crazy.. i took her home and parked her for about an hour and came back outside and i know theres a fuel cut while holding the throttle open all the way so just to make sure i did that to start it and it fired up no problem i went downtown to renew my insurance and came back home and parked it for the night.. came out in the morning and all i got was it cranking and trying to catch but it wont.... i really dont know whats going on.. the guy i bought it from said it wasnt running a fuel filter.. do you think its my injectors?.. or somethien more serious? compression is 90 on all rotor faces by the way..
any help would be awsome!
thanks

Did you put in new plugs at any point? Cleaning plugs will never give the same results as replacing them with new ones($24.00) at Oreillys and doing the deflood procedure before reinstalling them.

If that isnt the problem it seems like an injector issue, could have one stuck open. I recently fought a similar situation with some injectors I had cleaned and flow tested. But in a known good used set and the car acted 1000 times better and stopped fouling plugs and stopped bucking under decel.

I agree with David.

I was helping out with a car with bad injector (stuck open) and had similar symptoms. If that FD truly doesn't have a fuel filter, then I also recommend getting one.

Or maybe bad ignition coils?

i highly doubt its ignition coils becasue of the blue spark im getting from each plug.. but thanks for the idea i appreciate it

Check your TPS voltage while your at it too.
