HELP!
Friday, January 30, 2009 8:29 AM
so my injectors start to go, no big deal, i get new ones, but spend over a week trying to get them to seal right.

so last night i finally got the o rings to sit right, and everything back together, try to start it up[, and it wont turn over. figure out that my starter just so happened to go out at the same time. take it off and see that the whole assembly broke in half! anyways, got a new starter, got it installed, and now the engine still won't turn over.

spent over 2 hours tryin to figure out what it could be. i know nothing got into the head when i was changing the injectors, so now i'm lost

ideas?

By "not turning over", do you mean it cranks but won't start, or it won't even crank? If it won't crank, could it be hydro-locked (cylinder full of gas) since you were working on the injectors?

try removing the plugs and see if it will crank. Just be prepared for the possibility of gas flying everywhere.
