Hi everyone,

My Anniversary Edition of the Eighty-eight has been having a recurring engine problem. It seems that the engine floods with gas and shorts out the spark plugs. I bought the car used from a dealer and their mechanic just received the car back for the same problem for the 5th time.

The mechanic has changed the fuel regulator twice and last time replaced the fuel injectors and still the problem occurs. Now I've read up on common problems with the car (it has approx 73,000 miles on it) and I was wondering if any of you enthusiasts out there new of a solution and whether any coolant leaks into the intake manifold would cause this problem since I'm having coolant issues too.

Are you getting any backfiring with this flooding?

Maybe you should explain your coolant issues, since it could be all relevant info. Does the car smoke at all?

The series 2 3800 had a problem of the intake manifold getting too hot and causing a coolant leak in the intake, do a web search and you will find it, the intake is plastic and if I remember correctly you have to replace the intake manifold.

I only have one suggestion, Mass Air Sensor, It sends air flow data to the computer to control fuel flow. I also think the coolant issue needs to be addressed. Sorry I can't be more helpful and I know the MAS is expensive but if you can exchange it on warranty??????
