'91 100q 5 injectors replaced - now car wont start

[Christopher Gharibo]

I am thinking about going through the injector installation and the
suggestions again. This car was running little rough, stalling at idle, but
otherwise running fine before it underwent the injector replacement. 

Can a poor seal between the injector-shroud or the shroud-engine cause loss of
compression on a particular cylinder and loss of cranking cycle?

Maybe I was sent the wrong gaskets by the parts supplier.

Thanks for all the help!

in good condition otherwise ...
