Hello. Well i got a 89 about 135k on the engine. I am gogin to be doing a 60k and probably a clutch replacement for school cause im traning to become a technician. I am curious if anyone has any info on replacing the clutch at all. Im goign to be taking the tranny out though the wheel well from instructions that i found on here. Is it pretty straight forward? And also i belive one of my injectors or soemthing is leaking because if i turn the key to on for more then a few sec's it floods the engine same with turning it off. (To get it started i have to push pedal or floor to stop injectors from squirting fuel) Could this be a leaking fuel injector itself meaning i would need to replace it or is this a o-ring that has gotten to worn and is now leaking. Any idea's on what i should look for would be great.. I can also use the Injector test thing at school when i go back in a week. (yay summer break cause, its hot in that shop)

Thanks

O ring would make it leak air and run lean. Does the oil smell like gas?

If the injector is leaking it's probably toast. You could try a gallon of toluene in a half tank of gas though.
