Well, to be detailed but quick, I have a 99 Pontiac Grand Am with a 2.4L Twin Cam Engine from GM. I got a P0200 code that will not go away. The car is idling a little rough and gasoline is coming out of the exhaust in large quantities. Cylinders 1 through 3 spark plugs are burning with heavy carbon deposits, cylinder 4 spark plug comes out flooded, wet, dripping pure gasoline.
I've replaced spark plugs, wire sets, ignition coils, camshaft position sensor, and the bad injector but it's still doing the same thing. I have tested the Ignition Module, a spark test for the plugs, the Injectors and even a compression test on the engine. Everything has passed so far except in cylinder number 4 the circuit on the injector seems to be open permanently. The injector is brand new, so there is no chance it can be bad. But I took a diode circuit light tester and the circuit that feeds the fuel injector intermittently seems to have permanent voltage which means the injector is staying permanently open flooding cylinder 4. I think this is stealing the pressure from the other cylinders which is causing the other 1,2 and 3 cylinders to burn rich in air and create the heavy carbon deposits. Any ideas what could be causing this? Timing, a crank angle sensor... any ideas?
