I posted a month ago or so about my geo not starting it had low compression. Engine has been professionally rebuilt. I put the car back together and prime the motor for a while and then try starting again. All it does is chugs a bit and pops and thats about it. I checked my timing and it was correct swapped out a fuel relay which to no avale did nothing. I removed the plugs and cranked the motor and all it does is sprays fuel out the plug hole continuiously? This is the same thing it did before the rebuild any help guys would be so much appreciated.

Sounds as though you have a stuck open injector, and possibly a bad/unplugged coolant temp sensor. If your coolant temp sensor is unplugged the computer will think its -40 degrees F and try putting in a lot of fuel. I'd recommend to confirm your sensors are all plugged in first, then have someone turn the key on and watch the injector to see if it drips..., or put a fuel pressure gauge on it and then key on. the gauge should build pressure and hold it. You will want to change you oil and filter again after the issue is solved due to all the gas that would have leaked past the rings, which you may want to put a bit of oil down each spark plug tube to help seal the rings to ease starting.

Hope this helps

Ok I had my brother in law try starting it. when he just turned the key it filled the bowl immidietly with gas. and I mean a ton of gas atleast 1/4 cup in ten secs. and I also unplugged the injector and tried again and it still dumped a ton of fuel into the bowl

Did someone remove the injector? Sounds like the injector o-rings are screwed up.
