New member with bad problem

Questions:

How do I get the injectors out? The worthless Huntley manual I have just
says (I kid you not) "remove the injectors". I cannot find anywhere how they
are supposed to come out! I can see a nut which is very hard to get to (with
an O2 style socket maybe?) but was able to get to the #1 cylinder injector
with a wrench, turned it for a while, didn't seem like it was going
anywhere. Tried just gently pulling on it via the braided hose, didn't come
out, I can feel that its lose though...

I bypass the fuel relay by supplying power directly to the proper terminal
in the fuse box. Nothing wrong with doing that right?

Yes, I checked spark, spark is good. FYI I was amazed how strong my coil is.
Saw a spark from the coil arc a distance of over 1 inch!!

And yes, I just did test the fuel pump with a T-connector. Still showing
SUPER high pressure.

Thanks for the injector advice. I have been wanting to do that, I just cant
seem to get the thing out!

Tyson.

Try this...

fuel system all returned to its rightful place, but intake rubber boot
left off for now

fuel pump relay bypassed so you can turn it on manually

pull one fuel injector... carefully

point injector into safe container

turn on fuel pump

gently, slowly, raise air plate from its rest position.

injector should spray fuel.

Your original symptoms indicate that something is preventing this, in
that your car runs either on the small amount of fuel delivered by the
cold start valve (injector), or on a residual pressure leftover from the
"on" position prior to cranking, or cranking.

if this works (I take you checked for spark long ago), see if something
is stopping the fp from running (although since its a loud one I suspect
this is not the problem).

you measured fp pressure, and you observed a strong flow... but you
haven't done both at the same time, ie measured its flow at pressure.

and please, be very very careful with all this gasoline open in the air
- hopefully you are working outside, at least.  if you're in a garage
(with the door open!), try to avoid accumulating gasoline stink inside
by putting excess fuel back in the tank and the empty containers
outside.

There should be a rather schematic vacuum routing diagram stuck under
your hood.  Hook it all up properly... if your car was running with all
those wrecked hoses, who knows how far off from "correct" it was tuned
to do this.
