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

[Ed Kellock]

When I let my V8 sit for a couple years while I did a timing belt. It
sounded really wrong when I started cranking it for the first start. It
sounded like there was no  compression like I messed up the timing or
something. I just kept on cranking and it eventually started to fire a bit.
I figured at the time that it was just building fuel pressure up. It may
have also been building oil pressure and getting the rings lubricated so
they could seal and build compression. Whatever. Nevertheless, we just kept
at it and it finally started. This sounded a lot like that at the beginning
of this thread, but then things started getting all specific and whatnot.
Now that you're saying it seemed like it was trying to start, I'm thinking
just keep at it. Hook it up to a jumpstart box or another car or something,
but keep cranking it. You can watch the oil pressure on the gauge.  The
fuel components may need some exercise to build pressure if stuff dried out
a bit. It sound like it wants to run. Nothing about what you've done would
indicate there's anything majorly damaged.
