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

[Christopher Gharibo]

I've been cranking it thoroughly. At times, it does seem to want to catch, but just doesn't. 

I can't keep sinking time into this thing in this 90 degree weather. Between the 100q and the '91 CQ, they both have their moments. 

I believe the solution is within the replies so thoroughly offered. I tried what I can and know. I can do many things around the engine, but know virtually nothing about the workings of an engine.

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.

You'll want to pour it in with a tube of some sort (drinking straw maybe, an oiling can would be best if you have one) to get the oil on the walls of the cylinder, not on top of the piston where will just pool. LEAVE THE SPARK PLUGS OUT after pouring in the oil and spin the engine with the starter for ~10 seconds to be certain that any excess oil has a place to escape.
