gwolff, we replaced the plugs just before we attacked the fuel system. The intake is working good as well. Thanks for the comment, though.

Ok, we will try taking out the tank and cleaning it out. Thanks!

Well, we unhooked the fuel line where it goes into the rail and turned the key on so the pump primed the system. Fuel came out, but it wasn’t really a pretty sight. Mixed in with the fuel was a sort of red-brown liquid (I’m assuming it is a mix of dirt and the injector cleaner my friend put in recently) that acted like some sort of oily substance. There was probably about a 3:1 ratio of gas to this liquid junk. Shortly after, my friend cleaned the fuel rail and injectors, and also installed new o-rings on the injectors. We also checked for the spark plug wires with the screwdriver method, and they all worked well. We also made sure the wires were going to the right cylinders. The car still won’t start. When cranked over, it sounds like only one or two cylinders are igniting, and does so in sort of a pattern. Would this be the timing that is messed up?

Ok, we will give that a try. Thanks!

Thanks college man! This video gave me some good ideas of what to start with. Another question for you guys.. What would be the best way to unclog a fuel line. Would the standard injector cleaner work best, or are there other methods?

Oops, I meant we tried that once…

We tried that for once, and it didn’t seem to do much. Then again, the starter fluid was almost empty. We will try it again with more fluid.
