no fuel to injectors- please help



Try bleeding the fuel system for a couple of minutes.  Put all the
injectors in a jar, and lift the plate in the fuel distributor with the
fuel pump engaged.  I didn't bleed mine long enough, and ended up
buying 4 new injectors thinking they were the problem...  (oh well, at
least I have new injectors now :-)

HTH,

Mark.
