Help With No Start

(1/2) > >>

Joel Russo:
Help with no start.
I’ve followed the steps outlined in the Vortex Buicks pages, and here’s where I’m at…
87 GN, 15 K miles, TT 60 lb injectors and 5.7 chip with 255 Walbro in tank recently.
Car sat for 2 years without starting.
I have spark, 32 lbs pressure on the rail, injector pulse, but no start.
Is it possible the injectors are clogged?
Where do I go next?

Steve Wood:
It's very possible.  Spray some  starting fluid (or flammable carb cleaner/brake kleen) into the intake and see if it tries to run.

If it does, take an extension and rattle it with a hammer against the base of each injector-not hard enuf to break the injector.  Sometimes this will get them unstuck altho the gas today can form so much jelly that this may not work.

Joel Russo:
Thanks Steve!

Sprayed some brake kleen in the plenum, and it started and ran for a few seconds then shut off.

Steve Wood:
Sounds like they are stuck or glued up and not letting any fuel thru

Joel Russo:
I tapped on the bases like you described.
Any suggestions now?
