Hi,

This may not be the right place ( truck forum... ) but I have a question. My sister's 97 saturn twin cam is somehow getting fuel into the oil. She just had an oil change, and will keep an eye on the level. But what would cause this? Thanks. She lives in Harrisburg, PA, and we live north of the border, ( 45 mins north of Toronto. ) so it is kinda hard for us to just run over and check!!

Thanks in advance.

Will

Probably a ruptured diaphragm in the fuel pressure regulator. It has a vacuum hose that goes directly to the intake. Pull the hose off the regulator and see if it is wet with gas. Also, with the hose off, if you start it gas should come out if it is busted. If it isn't that, I suppose an injector could be dribbling it in, but it would run really rough.

Hi,

The fuel pressure regulator tested out ok, so I guess it must be the injectors. She will have to get them checked out, 1 must be stuck or something!!

Thanks alot.
